Rappaccini's Daughter - Howthorne

This quote was added by stefanelvictoras
Soon there emerged from under a sculptured portal the figure of a young girl, arrayed with as much richness of taste as the most splendid of the flowers, beautiful as the day, and with a bloom so deep and vivid that one shade more would have been too much. She looked redundant with life, health, and energy; all of which attributes were bound down and compressed, as it were, and girdled tensely, in their luxuriance, by her virgin zone. Yet, Giovani's fancy must have grown morbid.

I submitted a couple of changes to this quote, including a correction from "to much" to "too much," but the quote itself seems truncated… as if the last sentence is an incomplete thought. For this, I gave it a sad face. :-(
