Another query about a complex sentence.
But for the poems that describe without any reserve that dynamic vital force which draws a man and a woman close together and that impact of hot feeling upon hot feeling, search where we will, we shall search in vain.(original)
Query:
Is the original grammatically correct?
For the sake of making the original concise, I name the complex noun phrase as A , ie.
A = the poems that describe without any reserve that dynamic vital force which draws a man and a woman close together and that impact of hot feeling upon hot feeling. (I understand A very well)
so the original is such as:
But for A, search where we will, we shall search in vain.
= (I guess:) Without A, even if we search for A where we will search for A , we shall search in vain.
but I extremely doubt the correctness of my guess.
