Please make me understand the below phrase

I didn't understand the below line from a story

No, we were certain she had always been as we had the thought was almost revolting expanse of pure white serenity a turning-point accepted her seclusion with resignation veritable bedlam of chirrupings frivolous rebukes sagging skins of the dilapidated drum known her

Thanks.

I'm not surprised you don't understand! It is poorly written: it has virtually no punctuation; it is a series of incomplete sentences; it seems to be missing a relative pronoun or two.

Hi Anon;

Here are the instructions that you forgot to include in your post:

The Portrait of a Lady by Khushwant Singh
(bullet list of expressions)

Notice these expressions in the text. Infer their meaning from the context.

How can you expect us to infer the meaning without any context????
You have copied just a bullet list of expression

Hello Philip ,the one who posted these phases from the chapter -the portrait of a lady by khuswant Singh had not put any comma . These phases are not continuous.

AlpheccaStarsYou have copied just a bullet list of expressions, not a coherent sentence.
It's quite possible that anyone who would do this is not capable of understanding enough English to profit from your kind and patient explanation.
