Why rove my thoughts beyond this last retreat? Why feels my heart its long-forgotten heat? Yet, yet I love! — From Abelard it came, And Eloisa yet must kiss the name.

I. TEXTE As one always does, we thought of ourselves as immortal, so Sam's coronary at the age of fifty-two came like a bolt from the blue. With doctors warning of another one being imminent if he didn't change a lifestyle which involved too much traveling, too much entertaining of clients and too little exercise, we returned to England in the summer of '99 with no employment and a couple of boys in their late teens who had never seen their homeland. For no particular reason except that we'd

Baburao Bagul (Devanagari: बाबुराव बागूल) (1930 - 2008) was a Marathi writer from Maharashtra, India; a pioneering of Dalit literature in Marathi and an important figure in the Indian short story during late 20th century, when it experienced a radical departure from the past, with the advent of Dalit writers such as him [1][2][3].

Apparently called Murphy, an eponymous surname, he is also chained by several fetters. The setting tends to be pretty clear-cut, thus suggesting trite narrative structures strewed of descriptions.

It is for her sake that Gatsby has made it into an upper class society of superficial relationships based on money and status. It is debatable whether or not his ‘dream’ is pathetic and squalid.
