Anthony Trollope Quotes
It Is To Be Regretted That No Mental Method Of Daguerreotype Or Photography Has Yet Been Discovered By Which The Characters Of Men Can Be Reduced To Writing And Put Into Grammatical Language With An Unerring Precision Of Truthful Description. How Often Does The Novelist Feel, Ay, And The Historian Also And The Biographer, That He Has Conceived Within His Mind And Accurately Depicted On The Tablet Of His Brain The Full Character And Personage Of Man, And That Nevertheless, When He Flies To Pen And Ink To Perpetuate The Portrait, His Words Forsake, Elude, Disappoint, And Play The Deuce With Him, Till At The End Of A Dozen Pages The Man Described Has No More Resemblance To The Man Conceived Than The Signboard At The Coner Of The Street Has To The Duke Of Cambridge?
