Dawn Has the Power To Take Us Back To The Nineteenth Century

The horse jogged dreamily
Down the dark narrow road

Sophie bent over her flowers
The red roses were white in the starlight
The Bride's House

The quote
—reformatted—
is from p. 93
of this edition:
Originally published in 1929,
The Bride's House
was Ms. Powell's third novel

I have now read
thirteen of the fifteen novels
written by an author who
—indisputably—
fits into the third category
of this Oliverio-enhanced cliche:

Good artists borrow
Great artists steal
The greatest artists are
the ones most stolen from
