Summary

This quote suggests that truth is not something one can possess or control. Instead, truth is portrayed as a trap or a snare that captures individuals. It implies that one cannot simply grasp the truth on their own terms; instead, truth has a way of revealing itself and having an impact on people. It highlights the idea that truth is a force more powerful than our attempts to manipulate it, and it ultimately confronts and affects us, rather than us having control over it.

...And as for your hair!it's worse than ever.Can't you drench it in water to take those untidy twists and twirls out of it?''It only makes it curl more and more whey it gets dry,' said Molly, sudden tears coming into her eyes as a recollection came before her like a picture seen long ago and forgotten for years-a young mother washing and dressing her little girl; placing the half-naked darling on her knee, and twining the wet rings of dark hair fondly round her fingers, and then, in ecstasy of fondness, kissing the little curly head.
