The 1st sentence of the 1st paragraph of this page feels as if it contains a great truth -- that our relationship to literature is analogous to our relationship to life. Lessing doesn't say this in her authoritative voice that has earlier been commented on, but I think the hesitations in this sentence make the truth stronger.
