irene221bВот если бы он читал "Conversations of Lord Byron with the Countess of Blessington",
то нашел бы там такой пассаж, полностью предсказывающий развитие его любви с Анной:
Talking of marriage, Byron said that there was no real happiness out of its pale. " If people like each other so well," said he, " as not to be able to live asunder, this is the only tie that can ensure happiness—all others entail misery. I put religion and morals out of the question, though of course the misery will be increased tenfold by the influence of both; but, admitting persons to have neither (and many such are, by the good-natured world, supposed to exist), still liaisons, that are not cemented by marriage, must produce unhappiness, when there is refinement of mind, and that honourable ferte which accompanies it.
The humiliations and vexations a woman, under such circumstances, is exposed to, cannot fail to have a certain effect on her temper and spirits, which robs her of the charms that won affection ; it renders her susceptible and suspicious ; her self-esteem being diminished, she becomes doubly jealous of that of him for whom she lost it, and on whom she depends; and if he has feeling to conciliate her, he must submit to a slavery much more severe than that of marriage, without its respectability. Women become exigeante always in proportion to their consciousness of a decrease in the attentions they desire ; and this very exigeance accelerates the flight of the blind god, whose approaches, the Greek proverb says, are always made walking, but whose retreat is flying."
Теоретически мог, конечно. Книга вышла в 1834 году.
