unearths some literary gems.
From Glass on the Stairs, by Margaret Scherf:
***"Isn't it funny how many attractive vices end in y?"***"He'll begin by denying that he ever heard of her, but if you encourage him he'll give you a complete synopsis, from Cream of Wheat to gin and tonic."***"He does everything from Hamlet to Red Skelton's mother."***"I solemnly swear." She put her hand on the Manhattan phone book.***[The protagonists have to move their art/decor studio on short notice, so all their friends drop by to "help," i.e., do nothing useful, take up time, and get in the way.]In addition to the advice they came in to give, they seemed to think the crisis called for comfort in the form of stories, mostly pornographic, all lengthy.***"She's involved in the sudden end of Mrs. Rhodes, or I'm a smoked codfish.""I shouldn't be surprised if you were."***The dust measurers went away, with the look of men about to write articles.***

***** [5 stars] This small (108 page) book is a gem in its own right, a distillation of twenty-four books of the dead from around the world and across the centuries. Books of the Dead are unique in that they act as guidebooks for transition and are filled with mythological archetypes. Somehow, when I think of books of the dead, I am reminded of late-night TV stories from my youth about Egypt and mummies. Scary stories that we all loved to watch! ... In his introduction, Professor Oddfellow notes many guidebooks for the dead presume that death is not an ending but a transitional journey, that requires attentive planning. He references Ptolemy Tompkins (from “The Modern Book of the Dead”) as noting that those who hate and fear death are unable to live happily, while for those who think the right way about death “life loses that gloom and becomes something entirely different: something larger, stranger, and infinitely more promising and positive than we might ever have imagined.”
Professor Oddfellow states that books of the dead are really action-drama-fantasies, with a cast of characters, theatrical journeys, and more. (Remember those late-night TV shows!) They are metaphysical in origin, rich with mythological archetypes that offer a wonderful window into human psychology.
This book is divided into four sections: Ancient and Classical Books of the Dead, Modern Books of the Dead, and “Fictional” Books of the Dead.
In his afterword, Professor Oddfellow addresses the two most mystical manuals for guidance in the Otherworld: The Tibetan Book of the Dead and The Egyptian Book of the Dead.
There is also what to me is a very magical appendix that addresses the Tarot as a book of the dead.
“Books of the Dead” was intended to act as a book-reader collaboration, to inspire a deep intuitive understanding of afterlife guides, and to connect with what Jung termed the “both-and” philosophy of the Universal mind. It has accomplished this … and so much more!

unearths some literary gems.
*** Patrick said, "My kingdom for a flying red horse."
*** I was talking like a fish.
[Now, that took me by surprise. Sure, the narrator-protag uses "[oh,] fish!" as an oath on two or three occasions, but this is something else again. It seems to mean that she's talking like a fool. New to me! I see that Google Books brings up only a very few hits for talking like a fish; but at least one, by a different author, falls in with Crane's usage. Meanwhile, I was entertained to read a theatre-history account of how the line "You talk like a fish!" was cut from a J. B. Priestley work (though it's not clear to me what the line meant--maybe the character was talking foolishly, or maybe he literally sounded fishlike; cf. "Stop talking like an ostrich!").]

The rest of the area was hung with truly awful artwork, paintings whose subjects--owl, hare, human--shared expressions of surprise, their looks in a kind of stasis as if needing to react but hesitating, as if the paintings were about to sneeze.
[Btw, I see that Google images brings up plenty of artwork depicting sneezing, including some fine-art paintings...but what I was hoping to find, yet didn't, would have been cartoonish sneezing paintings in the vein of what you've called "haunted paintings"--where the painting on the wall isn't *normally* sneezing, but sneezes because someone in the room is shaking out a carpet, or whatever.]

unearths some literary gems.
It almost goes without saying that D. H. Lawrence once lived there. Having had D. H. Lawrence residences pointed out to me all over the world, I can only wonder how he got any writing done, what with packing and getting steamship reservations and having to look around for a decent plumber in every new spot.
*** Most of the production numbers had people in feathers moving in unison on the stage—dancing in the sense that Rex Harrison in My Fair Lady was singing.
*** Some people spoke rapidly and used a lot of slang and double-entendres. I explained to Anya that I was working, at best, with single-entendre Spanish.
*** I knew that what was close to [restaurant-guide author] Veronelli’s heart was likely to be close to my own—even though I still made occasional errors in translation, such as confusing the weekly closing day with the wine specialty.
*** I’ve always referred to all flowers as marigolds. Marigold sounds like a flower, and it’s easy to spell. ***

"Starting from Barford-in-the-Meadow, you see, and then widening out in ever increasing circles." "I'll give you ever increasing circles!"
*** Ermengelda's Kitchen (Gifte Shoppe & Café) was an aggressive pastiche of what a middle-European set designer for an American film might have thought an eighteenth-century English coffee-house looked like.
*** Miss Ermengilda waited until Doris had gone on her way in a flurry of indifference.
*** Even day-dreaming about work seemed to tire him out.
*** Dover knew who it was....That--he would stake his life on it--was What's-her-name! ***

unearths some literary gems.
From A Dictionary of Catch Phrases, ed. by Partridge et al.:
[We knew about people disguised as Christmas trees; but did we know that "all dressed up like a Christmas tree" was an alternative to "all dressed up like a dog's dinner"?][And how about this, for a nifty trick: an index that (seems like it almost) makes room for itself! From the preface...]When I had compiled the index to keywords, I found that it threw up quite a noticeable amount of previously unremarked duplication which I was then able to remove: it would be unfair to say that the index thus almost made room for itself--but it sometimes seemed like it.

This is not a book that can be easily put down. ... The content is accompanied by incredibly interesting illustrations. ... This is a learning book (a book that teaches), but the reader will see it as interesting information that presents itself as many different ways of looking at the soul, and how it is defined. It is a tool of growth and a tool of personal power. The reader needs to come with an open mind to be able to experience the joy that is to be his within these pages. ... I recommend this book for readers that are interested in how the soul is interpreted by many different cultures – it is eye-opening, and a very gentle read.

unearths some literary gems.
[This weird but well-written mystery novel was sort of "screwball gothic."]
*** "My past life has come up before my eyes so often it's beginning to look like a non-stop revue."
*** She...walked towards him with short, rather plodding steps, as though she was crossing an expanse of suet pudding.
*** [Who Needs Context? dept.] "Oh, if you're going to make a scene about pepper," Prudence said, "I'll oblige by leaving the room."
*** Talking to him was like discussing the scenery with a fish, or a bird.
*** He was a grocer, and his appearance suggested that his shop was very small, and that the articles wanted by customers could only be reached by ladder.
*** "We can't describe them," Smith said in a voice that whined on a high note, like the wind in a chimney.
[By the way, this Smith (the grocer) is paired up with a drinking buddy called Benson. One of them is obsessed with his hobby of astrology, and one with his hobby of numerology, and they are perpetually scoffing at each other's hobbies.]
*** [This silly tangent from the protagonist's eccentric 16-year-old sister is probably my favorite passage in the book.]
"Harry keeps saying [Maurice is] trying to get Father's money"[....]
"Harry seems to know a lot about crime. Let me try curling my lip. Do you suppose when people curl their lips it's convex or concave?" She went to the glass over the mantelpiece. "It looks queer both ways. If I curl it up towards my nose it's worse, don't you think? People in those books must look odd, most of the time. 'She curled her lip. Her lip twitched.' Oh, I twitch better than I curl. I'll practise that one. Do you really think I should be twitching and curling at Maurice?"
*** It was a good shop, smelling of incompatible foods.
*** "My mind's moving now like a circular saw. I'm not sure now what I'm cutting. It might be monotony. It might be the branch I'm sitting on."
*** [Also from Prudence, the 16-y.o.] "I'm sure this doesn't happen to other people getting ready for parties."
*** Hester smiled as though her face was being worked by electricity, while she wondered if real people ever said By Jove.
*** [Prudence again] She was so glad that he had gone that she forgot she couldn't tango. ***
