It's nap time for the little boys at my house. (Whew!) For my background noise I chose the BBC's newest version of Emma. Oh, Emma... I've been reminded of this quote a couple of times in the past week. Jane's words apply so well to her own.
“It is only a novel... or, in short, only some work in which the greatest powers of the
mind are displayed, in which the most thorough knowledge of human nature,
the happiest delineation of its varieties, the liveliest effusions of wit and humour,
are conveyed to the world in the best-chosen language.”
Only a novel indeed.
