Любимые несчастливые концовки. Вспоминаю наугад.
  • Я не знал, что есть на свете такая боль, и скрючился от
    муки, густая, красная буква "ю" распласталась у меня в
    глазах и задрожала. И с тех пор я не приходил в сознание, и
    никогда не приду.
  • And my soul from out that shadow
    That lies floating on the floor
    Shall be lifted — nevermore.
  • Сказали мне, что эта дорога меня приведет к океану смерти, и я с полпути повернул назад. С тех пор все тянутся передо мною кривые, глухие окольные тропы...

    (это, впрочем, не конец книги, но пусть уж будет)
  • He saw the Jungle of his life and saw the lurking Beast; then, while he looked, perceived it, as by a stir of the air, rise, huge and hideous, for the leap that was to settle him. His eyes darkened — it was close; and, instinctively turning, in his hallucination, to avoid it, he flung himself, face down, on the tomb.
  • Я поспешил закончить свою работу. Я вдвинул последний камень на место, я заделал его. Вдоль новой кладки я восстановил прежнее ограждение из костей. Полстолетия прошло с тех пор, и рука смертного к ним не прикасалась. In pace requiescat!
  • But try telling Them. They of little faith.

    So I might as well stay here, wait and look at the hill.

    It's so beautiful.
  • Дверь выбили. "Александр Иванович, Александр Иванович!" — заревело несколько голосов. Но никакого Александра Ивановича не было.

Ещё?

From: (Anonymous)
The desert he rode was red and red the dust he raised, the small dust that powered the legs of the horse he rode, the horse he led. In the evening a wind came up and reddened all the sky before him. There were few cattle in that country because it was barren country indeed yet he came at evening upon a solitary bull rolling in the dust against the bloodred sunset like an animal in sacrificial torment. The bloodred dust blew down out of the sun. he touched the horse with his heels and rode on. He rode with the sun coppering his face and the red wind blowing out of the west across the evening land and the small desert birds flew chittering among the dry bracken and horse and rider and horse passed on and their long shadows passed in tandem like the shadow of a single being. Passed and paled into the darkening land, the world to come.”
