Maugham was a well-known British novelist, playwright and essayist. He has written countless excellent works, such as "The Veil". Camus once said, "True generosity for the future is to give everything to the present." "Now, let's take a look at the first 23 chapters of The Veil!

Stills from the film of the same name
Maybe you haven't heard of this work, but have you heard of love? Love has always been an eternal topic since ancient times. In this work, it is also infiltrated with the taste of love.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="01" > Katie in search of love</h1>
Katie, as the eldest daughter of an aristocratic family, is beautiful and beloved. Her mother, Mrs. Justin, was an ambitious, mercenary man. When Mrs. Justin picks a good wife for her daughter, she not only values the future happy marriage, but also values whether the other party is a good husband who is outstanding. Katie is at a youthful and energetic age, and she is constantly in and out of the major balls, and Mrs. Justin is also trying to please everyone who may become a future husband. However, time slowly passed, and Katie still did not find her own love.
Katie
When Katie's sister Doris gets engaged on her first social scene, Katie decides to marry Walter in a fit of rage. Although Walter was far worse than the people who had chased her, Katie stopped thinking about it.
Sometimes, love is really a storm that comes before you can escape! This love came too soon for both Katie and Walter! We can't predict their future married life, and we hope that every marriage that can come together is happy and happy!
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="02" > Walter's love chase</h1>
Walter
Walter had been paying attention to Katie for a long time, and they had danced together many times, but Katie still didn't remember him. Finally one day he took the initiative to talk to Katie and tell the name to the beloved girl.
During a walk in the park, he turned pale and confessed to Katie. This confession is unlike anyone Katie's acceptance. He said, "I want to talk to you about something. I want to ask you, can you marry me? Don't you know I love you love crazy? My mouth is so clumsy, and I find it rare for me to express my sincerity..." Indeed, Walter's approach is indeed something special compared to those emotional confessions.
Katie and Walter
In Katie's opinion, she is anxious to find a love of her own, walter is good, even if it is not as good as the fanatical chasers before.
Walter succeeded, and his love chase sounded the horn of victory! No matter how far this love can go, since love has begun, I hope that love will become sweeter and sweeter!
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="03" > the marriage broke down, Walter confided his heart</h1>
Walter and Katie's dialogue
Walter and Katie's beautiful marriage is in jeopardy because of their different interests after marriage and the addition of Katie's lover. When both sides know everything, there is nothing to hide between them. Katie asked Walter if she knew why she chose to marry him. Walter replied with an expression he had never had before: "Because you don't want to fall behind your sister Doris." "Actually, Walter knows everything.
Walter understood Katie's stupidity and frivolity, knew her simplicity, but he still loved her; he tried to like everything she liked, hiding himself, showing her only vulgar ignorance and stupidity in front of her, just because he knew how frightened she was at seeing smart people!
Walter confided in himself
But, no matter what, Walter still loves Katie!
We can't change what has already happened, such as the breakdown of a marriage, but we can deal with what is happening right now. Because of his love for Katie, Walter can make many changes, but he still can't stop Katie's restless heart from flying far away. In fact, Walter has done a good job. Knowing that it is stupid and frivolous, or choose love; knowing that the mind is simple, or choose love. This love is pure, because it is only because of love, nothing else.
Walter's deep love
Walter said: "I never expected you to fall in love with me, I didn't think you should fall in love with me, I didn't think I was very cute. I can't thank you enough to love you. "Sometimes, love is a silent giving, and this kind of love asks for nothing, nothing at all. Just want to love that person all the time. Perhaps, love is not those shouted mountain alliance sea oaths, perhaps, just silent love and blessing in the heart!
Love, no need for reason
I don't know if you will be moved when you see this paragraph? The expression of love is never the only one. Like Walter's expression of love for Katie, that expression is deep, that love is long-lasting, it can stand the baptism of time. Love, when these two words appear, all the beauty of the world also appears.
No matter when you meet love, no matter how far this road to find love is, may all the beauty be inadvertent! May all true love appear in the next second!
What is the ideal love in your heart? I'm basil, welcome to communicate together!
Basil still has many deficiencies, please ask your predecessors to criticize and advise!
