«“Live all you can; it's a mistake not to. It doesn't so much matter what you do in particular so long as you have your life. If you haven't had that what have you had?”» (The Ambassadors, Book Fifth, Chapter II) ~ #HappyBirthday #HenryJames (1843-1916), American author regarded as a key transitional figure between literary realism and literary modernism, and is considered by many to be among the greatest English-language novelists. As a naturalized English citizen from 1915, he is best known for a number of novels dealing with the social and marital interplay between emigre Americans, English people, and continental Europeans – examples of such novels include The Portrait of a Lady, The Ambassadors, and The Wings of the Dove. His later works were increasingly experimental. In describing the internal states of mind and social dynamics of his characters, James often made use of a personal style in which ambiguous or contradictory motivations and impressions were overlaid or closely juxtaposed in the discussion of a single character's psyche. ~ Best-known works: • Daisy Miller (1878, novella) • Washington Square (1880, novel) • The Portrait of a Lady (1881, novel) • What Maisie Knew (1897, novel) • The Turn of the Screw (1898, novella) • The Wings of the Dove (1902, novel) • The Ambassadors (1903, novel) • The Golden Bowl (1904, novel) ~ «Don't mind anything anyone tells you about anyone else. Judge everyone and everything for yourself.» (The Portrait of a Lady, Chapter XXIII) ~ #ThePortraitOfALady #Ambassadors #TheWingsOfTheDove #PortraitOfALady #TheTurnOfTheScrew #DaisyMiller #book #books #reading #bookstagram #bibliophile #booklove #bookworm #instabook #literature

Waiting for a Girl Like You (a The Wings of a Dove fan vid)

Some mature content. A fan video for the 1997 film 'The Wings of a Dove' featuring one of my favorite actors: Linus Roache who plays journalist Merton Densher. The video is from Merton's POV and how he feels about Kate Croy (played by Helena Bonham Carter). Special shout out to another vidder, Nancy H. who first used this song for the same film and who without I'd have never thought to use this particular song.) Here's what the excellent film is about: An impoverished woman (Kate) who has been forced to choose between a privileged life with her wealthy aunt and her journalist lover (Merton), befriends an American heiress (Milly, played by Alison Elliot). When she discovers the heiress is attracted to her own lover and is dying, she sees a chance to have both the privileged life she cannot give up and the lover she cannot live without.
