Quote by Arnold Bennett
Because her instinct has told her, or because she has been reliably informed, the faded virgin knows that the supreme joys are not for her; she knows by a process of the intellect; but she can feel her deprivation no more than the young mother can feel the hardship of the virgin's lot.
Summary
The quote suggests that the "faded virgin" is aware that she cannot experience the ultimate joys in life, either through intuition or reliable information. The phrase "faded virgin" implies that she has lost her chance to have these joys. However, despite this knowledge, she cannot fully comprehend or empathize with the challenges and limitations faced by others, just as a young mother cannot truly understand the hardships faced by a virgin. It highlights how personal circumstances limit one's ability to relate to the experiences of others.
