“The Girl of the Period, sauntering before one down Broadway, is one panorama of awful surprises from top to toe. Her clothes characterize her. She never characterizes her clothes. She is upholstered, not ornamented. She is bundled, not draped. She is puckered, not folded. She struts, she does not sweep. She has not one of the attributes of nature nor of proper art. She neither soothes the eye like a flower, nor pleases it like a picture. She wearies it like a kaleidoscope. She is a meaningless dazzle of broken effects.” DoeArtEyeGirlEffectsFashionYouthFlowerBrokenPeriodsPleaseClothesSurpriseAwfulAttributesMeaninglessToesBroadwaySaunteringDazzleKaleidoscopePanorama Author:Elizabeth Stuart Phelps Ward

But then I returned one day, to find all my careful scribing gone to fragments of vellum lying in a trampled yard with wet snow blowing over them. I sat my horse, looking down at them, and knew that, as it always would, the past had broken free of my effort to define and understand it. History is no more fixed and dead than the future. The past is no further away than the last breath you took.” ReasonLastsPastLyingForceCausesEffortGoneClearHappenedEffectsEventsBrokenOne DayHorseBreathsCarefulSnowFixedSatWetYardsFragmentsFixingLooking Down Author:Robin Hobb
