The Whole Heart Into the Abyss

Collection:
Devotion & Ruin
Gustave Flaubert
Madame Bovary (1856)

Emma does not want love as it is lived, but as it is imagined — absolute, consuming, capable of remaking the world around her. What she pursues is not a relationship, but a feeling without limit.

In the end, nothing can sustain that intensity. It gives way — completely.

Select interior:

“Love, she thought, must come suddenly,
with great outbursts and lightnings—
a hurricane of the skies,
which falls upon life, revolutionises it,
roots up the will like a leaf, and sweeps
the whole heart into the abyss.”

Gustave Flaubert
Madame Bovary (1856)
