| Quotation | I will go back to reading the The Woman Who Was Poor. And the Woman Who Was Poor is some novel! The second part is a better love story than Anthony and Cleopatra-the second part is magnificent, and ends with some mystical vision! All through the second part, or the last of the second part, there is a series of scenes as simple and clean as pictures by Blake. |
