Edith Wharton Quotes

Childish. Thereupon Filomena Excused Herself, That She Might Put A Clean Shirt On Jacopone, And Odo Was Left To His Melancholy Musings. His Mind Had Of Late Run Much On Economic Abuses; But What Was Any Philandering With Reform To This Close Contact With Misery? It Was As Though White Hungry Faces Had Suddenly Stared In At The Windows Of His Brightly-lit Life. What Did These People Care For Education, Enlightenment, The Religion Of Humanity? What They Wanted Was Fodder For Their Cattle, A Bit Of Meat On Sundays And A Faggot On The Hearth.
