She thought of the recurrent waves of pain that for some reason or other she and her husband had to endure...; of the incalculable amount of tenderness contained in the world; of the fate of this tenderness, which is either crushed or wasted, or transformed into madness; of neglected children humming to themselves in unswept corners; of beautiful weeds that cannot hide from the farmer.

Symbols and Signs, Nabokov
