Quotes From "The Wife" By Sigrid Undset

1
Her heart felt as if it were breaking in her breast, bleeding and bleeding, young and fierce. From grief over the warm and ardent love which she had lost and still secretly mourned; from anguished joy over the pale, luminous love which drew her to the farthest boundaries of life on this earth. Through the great darkness that would come, she saw the gleam of another, gentler sun, and she sensed the fragrance of the herbs in the garden at world's end. Sigrid Undset

You tug and strain like a young horse when it's first tied up at the stake, whenever you are tied by your heartstrings. Sigrid Undset
