Yep. I'm sorry to clutter the thread with non-essentials. But like you said, it's so beautiful. I've always thought GG is best read in the autumn, "season of mists and mellow fruitfulness."
(Someone stop me)
Or like Frost wrote...
"Ah, when to the heart of man
Was it ever less than a treason
To go with the drift of things,
To yield with a grace to reason,
And bow and accept the end
Of a love or a season?"
Sigh...
I need to rake some leaves. 8~)

The most perfect ending to a novel, ever: "So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."

GG should be read once a year. Unlike many books, it only gets better as you get older.
