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

An Extraordinarily Successful 19th Century Sales Pitch

________________________________________________________________________________________________

NOW NOW NOW
is the time to repent.

Tomorrow
will be too late.

Today is bargain day in salvation.
Tomorrow the price goes up.

It's yours for the asking
but if you refuse it now
the price will rocket up.

Come in on the ground floor
and get your dividends
from the first day.

This offer may be withdrawn
at any moment.

It's your big chance.

Gilbert Seldes
quotes
Dwight Lyman Moody

of
The Stammering Century
