Quotes: Returns.

The theme of returning after a long separation:


Return 601 "...because the village did not remember him as he remembered the village." Hawthorne: “The Threefold Destiny: A Fairy Legend”


Return 602 "...they found him, a tall, dark, stately man, of foreign aspect, courteous in demeanor and mild of speech, yet with an abstracted eye, which seemed often to snatch a glance at the invisible.:" Hawthorne: “The Threefold Destiny: A Fairy Legend”


Return 605 "...singular contrast in their two figures; he dark and picturesque--one who had battled with the world--whom all suns had shown upon, and whom all winds had blown on a varied course; she neat, comely, and quiet--quiet even in her agitation--as if all her emotions had been subdued to the peaceful tenor of her life." Hawthorne: “The Threefold Destiny: A Fairy Legend”
