Reading "Pride and Prejudice" chapter 1 Reading "Pride and Prejudice" chapter 1 When Truth is coming in a chaise and four showing off its worth, it simply has no compassion for my poor nerve. What is universally acknowledged is not what particularly suits you. Real truth is quick to recognize its true enemies: pride and prejudice. It is not in want of disciples, just in need of falling apples. Truth without a humane face, is the plainest of all: stark truth, naked truth, blatant truth, all have no share of beauty in them. Next time when Truth comes again, pretending to be anything extraordinary, open Jane's book and it can no longer vex you. (2015.2.14)
