>This evening had obliterated the past at a single stroke. What had it brought him instead? Nothing as yet; but it was a great thing that there had been any such thing as this evening. Anyone who has not been very much in love will not be able to understand Aurélien and how he had begun all over again, as it were a new life. There is probably no emotion in the world so sharp, like a wind blowing on one’s face, as this feeling of re-birth that comes from having told a woman that one loves her. At the same time Aurélien had re-discovered his self-respect. Now he had something more than a pretext for his life; he had legitimised it. Now his drifting, his lack of resolution, was explained: he had been waiting for this moment. Until now he had lacked a reason for being alive at all.
