„Elizabeth passed quietly out of the room, Jane and Kitty followed, but Lydia stood her ground, determined to hear all she could; and Charlotte, detained first by the civility of Mr. Collins, whose inquiries after herself and all her family were very minute, and then by a little curiosity, satisfied herself with walking to the window and pretending not to hear.“

Happy #MelvilleMonday, dear friends!
“…all that we call lives and souls, lie dreaming, dreaming, still; tossing like slumberers in their beds; the ever-rolling waves but made so by their restlessness.”

sandhoferlitterEin bisschen Horror gefällig? Wie wäre es mit dem Roman „Die drei Häscher“ von Arthur Machen? Ich jedenfalls habe darin alte Bekannte gefunden, die auf Grund ihrer Rolle hier plötzlich ein anderes Gesicht erhalten und doch das alte behalten. Ein faszinierende Konstruktion mit Verschränkung von Widersprüchen, die sich dennoch nicht aufheben. Oder auch: ein letztes Zucken der Romantik an der Wende vom 19. zum 20. Jahrhundert.

China had become popular in England over the preceding century … Jane Austen's work cabinet, in which she kept needlework supplies, was decorated with Chinese figures done in black lacquer and gilt. (David M. Shapard)
„… Mr Bennet was glad to take his guest into the drawing-room again, and, when tea was over, glad to invite him to read aloud to the ladies. Mr Collins readily assented, and a book was produced; but on beholding it (for every thing announced it to be from a circulating library,) he started back, and begging pardon, protested that he never read novels.“
