"It's more real to me here than if I went up, he suddenly heard himself say. And the fear lest that last shadow of reality should lose its edge kept him rooted to his seat as the minutes succeeded each other."

半年前读的，现在想起来写一下后感。 Newland是一个内心想够上月亮，可是脚却重重踩在地上的人，内心一直觉得自己超脱于自身的阶层，事实上却是认可并执行这一切规则。Ellen的出现正是促使他认识自我。他和Ellen之间始终隔着一道无形的网
