alice 🪞♥️ 🎩🐇<p>"The highest thing one can do in literature is to succeed in saying that thing which one meant to say. There is nothing better than that—to make the world see your thoughts as you see them. Eugene Field and Edgar&nbsp;Allan Poe and Robert&nbsp;Louis Stevenson and Charles Dickens, among others, have succeeded in doing this. They impress the world with a sense of their courage and realness.</p><p>There are people who have written books which did not impress the world in this way, but which nevertheless came out of the feeling and fullness of zealous hearts. Always I think of that pathetic, artless little old-fashioned thing, “Jane Eyre,” as a picture shown to a world seeing with distorted vision. Charlotte Bronté meant one thing when she wrote the book, and the world after a time suddenly understood a quite different thing, and heaped praise and applause upon her therefor."</p><p>-- The Story of <a href="https://beige.party/tags/MaryMacLane" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MaryMacLane</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/book" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>book</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/quote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>quote</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>writing</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/meaning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>meaning</span></a></p>
