"How does this Fragonard differ from Chardin’s Le Philosophe Lisant? What does the act of reading mean? How would reading Austen (say) be different from reading the latest German novelist in the 1800s?" ~M.C. SmallwoodPosted on May 25, 2009 http://mcsglendale.tumblr.com/
"Her Spirits were naturally good, and not easily depressed, and she possessed such a fund of vivacity and good humour as could only be damped by some very serious vexation.- Besides these antidotes against every disappointment, and consolations under them, she had another, which afforded her constant relief in all her misfortunes, and that was a fine shady Bower, the work of her own infantine Labours..." ~from Jane Austen's Catherine, or the Bower
