Henry James

Henry James | the doing by the woman of the thing that gave her away

Henry James | Charlotte Stant; he took the relics out, one by one, and it was more and more, each instant, as if she were giving him time

Henry James | This power he could exert but vaguely ; the best exercise of it was to accept her decisions submissively - which indeed there was already an emotion in doing

Henry James | I have left her en l'air

Henry James | The house of fiction

Henry James | the woman who wants a portrait of some non- existent (ncver-existent) person

Henry James | A truce to all subjects that are not superior! the particular thing I want to do now is not the ironic. I want to do something fine — a strong, large, important human episode

Henry James | They want, ever, the smaller, the slighter, the safer, the inferior thing

Henry James | She had arts and idiosyncrasies ... which were a daily grace if you lived with them

Henry James | to leave her untouched because no touch one could apply

Henry James | the feeling of a wasted past

Henry James | the impression she produced

Henry James | she sat in the still drawing-room, given up to her meditation
