What delight it must be to move to Budapest, to leave sad memories behind and to enjoy a happy old age in new circumstances: it was not just to be free of cares and worries but to avoid loneliness at seventy-five and to give oneself over to peaceful reflection!
¡Qué felicidad mudarse a Budapest…! Olvidar los tristes recuerdos y disfrutar por fin de la vejez en un ambiente nuevo, sin tener que cargar sola, a sus setenta y cinco años, con los achaques o la soledad, y entregarse a una placentera paz.
“It seems to me that honour is a very living feeling, but none the less all obsolete forms are full of inertia, and one has to be very tired oneself to give oneself over to a dead and romantic convention of feeling. One has to be in despair and see no way out before one can do that.…”
Yo creo que el honor es un sentimiento muy vivo, pero también estoy convencido de que las formas ya superadas están llenas de apatía y de que hace falta un cansancio infinito para entregarse a un convencionalismo romántico y muerto del sentimiento.
