unearths some literary gems.
Snippets from Vanity Fair Feb '16:
***
"Trombone players...never die, in fact, until extreme old age makes them incapable of working the slide." [George Bernard Shaw, quoted from an old letter]
***
[Speaking of the "talking parts" vs. unimpeded action, here's a phrase about an ideal sort of novel for reading on trains]
"action and talk cunningly sandwiched"
[Which made me hungry, natch.]
***
[More snippets attached, including a silly pillow. As for those hats with "modernist tendencies," I like the implication that the hats have agency, and are evolving on their own initiative. Meanwhile, I note that Wodehouse is kindly honoring our running theme about "fill in the blank" literature.]
