If I ever tried to work from my bed, I’m pretty sure I’d get nothing done but it’s where novelist Edith Wharton did her best writing. We have a full tour of @themountlenox on the blog today which includes the interiors and beautiful gardens. At the far end of which, there’s a plaque in the ground with the most fitting quote for today, “In spite of illness, in spite even of the archenemy sorrow, one can remain alive long past the usual date of disintegration if one is unafraid of change, insatiable in intellectual curiosity, interested in big things, and happy in small ways.” - Edith Wharton #themount #edithwharton #theberkshires #massachusetts #habituallychictravels (at The Mount) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEEmksRHK6j/?igshid=148zbhqaiphso
