Quote by Anthony Powell
Slowly, but very deliberately, the brooding edifice of seduction, creaking and incongruous, came into being, a vast Heath Robinson mechanism, dually controlled by them and lumbering gloomily down vistas of triteness. With a sort of heavy-fisted dexterity the mutually adapted emotions of each of them became synchronized, until the unavoidable anti-climax was at hand.

This quote describes the gradual creation of a complicated and contrived seductive strategy between two individuals. The process is depicted as a laborious and awkward endeavor, resembling a complex contraption orchestrated by them. Their emotions and actions are synchronized with clumsy precision, ultimately leading to a predictable and anticlimactic outcome.
