"Before her marriage she had thought that she had love within her grasp; Mas desde a felicidade que ela esperava que este amor a trouxesse não havia vindo, ela supôs que ela deveria ter sido enganada. And Emma tried to imagine just what was meant, in life, by the words “bliss,” “passion,” and “rapture” - words that had seemed so beautiful to her in books."

Versão em inglês

Before her marriage she had thought that she had love within her grasp; but since the happiness which she had expected this love to bring her hadn’t come, she supposed she must have been mistaken. And Emma tried to imagine just what was meant, in life, by the words “bliss,” “passion,” and “rapture” - words that had seemed so beautiful to her in books.
