'Hij sprak over voorgronden, afstanden en secondaire afstanden - coulissen en perspectieven - en licht en schaduw ... en via een soepele overgang van een rotsblok en de verdorde eik die hij vlak bij de top plaatste, naar eiken in het algemeen, wouden, hun beslotenheid, onbewoonbare gebieden, kroondomeinen en overheden, kwam hij al snel in de politiek terecht; en vanuit de politiek was de stap naar stilte snel gemaakt.'
'He talked of fore-grounds, distances, and second distances – side-screens and perspectives – lights and shades… and by an easy transition from a piece of rock fragment and the withered oak which he placed near its summit, to oaks in general, to forests, the enclosure of them, wastelands, crown lands and government , he shortly found himself arrived at politics: and from politics, it was an easy step to silence.'
Jane Austen,
Northanger Abbey, ed. R. W. Chapman (Oxford, 1980), 111.
