Nice assessment. That works, too. I was thinking in terms of the film versions. Both directed by David Lean, and both featuring Alec Guiness in supporting roles, playing "ethnic." More successfully in Zhivago, in my opinion.

My basic objection to religion is not that it isn't true; I like plenty of things that aren't true. It's that religion grants its adherents malign, intoxicating and morally corrosive sensations. -Philip Pullman

'The Mystery of the Stuttering Parrot' by Robert Athur Jr. (from the terrific and neglected Three Investigators series )
Oh, could I feel as I have felt, or be what I have been,
Or weep as I could once have wept, o'er many a vanished scene;
As springs in deserts found seem sweet, all brackish though they be,
So, midst the withered waste of life, those tears would flow to me.

The Strange Case of Dr.Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde by the (immortal) Robert Louis Stevenson
Oh, could I feel as I have felt, or be what I have been,
Or weep as I could once have wept, o'er many a vanished scene;
As springs in deserts found seem sweet, all brackish though they be,
So, midst the withered waste of life, those tears would flow to me.
