I loved those books! I still do.
“In an old house in Paris that was covered with vines lived twelve little girls in two straight lines. In two straight lines they broke their bread and brushed their teeth and went to bed. They smiled at the good and frowned at the bad and sometimes they were very sad. They left the house at half past nine in two straight lines in rain or shine — the smallest one was Madeline.”

Mission
I’ve worked at my work
I’ve slept at my sleep
I’ve died at my death
And now I can leave
Leave what is needed
And leave what is full
Need in the Spirit
And need in the Hole
Beloved, I’m yours
As I’ve always been
From marrow to pore
From longing to skin
Now that my mission
Has come to its end:
Pray I’m forgiven
The life that I’ve led
The Body I chased
It chased me as well
My longing’s a place
My dying a sail
—Leonard Cohen

Mark Twain on Jane Austen. We just learned he said this, and now we want to dig him up and make him be our best friend. (via washingtonpoststyle)
Really? REALLY? Because that makes me want him to shut the fuck up and sit down and learn about gender and agency. Also: beating people up because you disagree with them is never funny.
The actual article linked is “5 Myths About Jane Austen,” and it’s A++ fantastic and to the point. The Washington Post’s tumblr commentary, however, as it tends to be with gendered issues…is lacking.

Funny, I feel that way about Mark Twain a lot of the time.
