“Oh! the things which happened in that garden! If you have never had a garden, you cannot understand, and if you have had a garden, you will know that it would take a whole book to describe all that came to pass there. At first it seemed that green things would never cease passing through the earth, in the grass, in the beds, even in the crevices of the walls. Then the green things began to unfurl and show colour, every shade of blue, every shade of purple, every tint and hue of crimson. “ Frances Hodgson Burnett, The Secret Garden

Novels for reading, classic and contemporary
”contempt for ordinary realities”
”Advice for wives circa 1896: <i>The indiscriminate reading of novels is one of the most injurious habits to which a woman can be subject. Besides the false views of human nature it will impart … it produces an indifference to the performance of domestic duties, and contempt for ordinary realities.”</i> As quoted in Jenny Ofill, <i>Dept. of Speculation</i>
