"Zij was eenigszins zijne kleine vertrouweling geweest en zijn krachteloos genie had in hare oogen de vlucht genomen van dat eens poetischen, madonna-malenden Rafaels, met dwepende oogen en lange lokken." - Eline Vere by Louis Couperus Not sure how to translate it, since I barely know what it means in dutch!

I already have another book near me.
