Summary

This quote suggests that youth is highly valuable and desirable, perhaps implying that it is a time of vitality, potential, and freedom. However, it also indicates that youth is fleeting and transient, and once it is gone, its benefits no longer remain. Hence, it emphasizes the importance of cherishing and making the most of one's youthful years, as they are limited and irreplaceable.

There was no exaggeration in Marian's definition of Flintcom

There was no exaggeration in Marian's definition of Flintcomb-Ash farm as a starve-acre place. The single fat thing on the soil was Marian herself; and she was an importation. Of the three classes of village, the village cared for by its lord, the village cared for by itself, and the village uncared for either by itself or by its lord (in other words, the village of a resident squires's tenantry, the village of free or copy-holders, and the absentee-owner's village, farmed with the land) this place, Flintcomb-Ash, was the third. But Tess set to work. Patience, that blending of moral courage with physical timidity, was now no longer a minor feature in Mrs Angel Clare; and it sustained her.
