Edebi Gercekcilik ile Edebi Modernizm arasinda gecis figuru olarak kabul edilen Amerikali yazar Henry James’in olum yildonumu (28 Subat 1916)
“Yagmurlu bir aksamuzeri, bu genc hanim elinde bir kitapla tek basina oturuyordu. Elinde bir kitap oldugunu soylemek, yalnizliginin onu zorlamadigini soylemek anlamina geliyor; cunku onun bilgi askinin bereketlendirici bir niteligi vardi ve hayal gucu kuvvetliydi.” Bir Hanimefendinin Portresi
“One wet afternoon, some four months earlier than the occurrence lately narrated, this young lady had been seated alone with a book. To say that she had a book is to say that her solitude did not press upon her; for her love of knowledge had a fertilising quality and her imagination was strong.”
“Isabel mevsimin uygunsuzluklarina olabildigince az ilgi gosteriyordu; gozlerini kitabindan ayirmiyor ve zihnini toplamaya calisiyordu. Son zamanlarda, zihninin bir hayli serseri oldugu aklina gelmisti ve onu asker adimlarina alistirmak icin ve emir verildiginde ilerlemeyi, durmayi, geri cekilmeyi, daha da karmasik manevralar yapmayi ogretmek icin cok yaraticilik gostermisti.” Bir Hanimefendinin Portresi
“Isabel, however, gave as little heed as possible to cosmic treacheries; she kept her eyes on her book and tried to fix her mind. It had lately occurred to her that her mind was a good deal of a vagabond, and she had spent much ingenuity in training it to a military step and teaching it to advance, to halt, to retreat, to perform even more complicated manoeuvres, at the word of command.”
