"... however much she tried, she could not become stronger than herself"


"And death, as the sole means of reviving love for herself in his heart, of punishing him, and of the ongoing victory in that contest which an evil spirit in her heart was waging against him, presented itself clearly and vividly to her." -- Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina (1877)

And so it goes, or went, for Anna. As for those who like these 1950s and 60s Signet Edition covers, the People's Co-op Bookstore on Commercial has a good thirty or so left, bunched together in the store's Fiction Section.
