4/100 days of productivity - 04.07.24
― French: 45 min, Regular -er Verbs lesson (verbs that end in -er, the largest category of regular French verbs)
ex. parler (to talk, speak)
je parle nous parlons
tu parles vous parlez
il/elle/on parle ils/elles parlent
― Reading: Still reading That Affair Next Door by Anne Katharine Green (omg she goes deep with the trial, so many details, it's like being literally there to witness it)
― Word/idiom of the day: to elapse
(of time) pass or go by.
"weeks elapsed before anyone was charged with the attack"
― Quote of the day: “His face when the light fell on it was startling to most of us. It was as much changed as if years, instead of hours, had elapsed since last we saw it. No longer reckless in its expression, nor easy, nor politely patient, it showed in its every lineament that he had not only passed through a hurricane of passion, but that the bitterness, which had been its worst feature, had not passed with the storm, but had settled into the core of its nature, disturbing its equilibrium forever." ― That affair next door by Anna Katharine Green
🎧 "Guilty as Sin" by Taylor Swift

Victober Wrap-Up
The Romance of a Shop by Amy Levy: I read this one on October 1st. Very easy, very fun, if very underwritten, read about four sisters who open a photography shop. Gives a fascinating perspective on a different side of Victorian daily life.
The Europeans by Henry James: I forgot this one almost immediately after reading it, but I did enjoy it. The best way I can describe what I like about Henry James is that he writes like a woman. There's a concern for the inner lives of characters and the little moments of daily life that you usually don't see from male authors, and it works really well for the types of stories he tells.
Miss Meredith by Amy Levy: Short novella about a young woman who takes a job as a governess in Italy, and who gets a much nicer romance out of it than most of those types of characters. It's nothing ground-breaking, but it's fun to see her perspective on the setting, and the romance reminded me so much of some scenes from an old, beloved, abandoned WIP that I couldn't help liking it more than it probably deserved.
The Law and the Lady by Wilkie Collins: I loved the heroine of this book. I was so invested in her story. She was going to solve the mystery of her husband's past, no matter who stood in her way. Her (hilariously) pathetic wet napkin of a husband doesn't deserve her, but he needs her, and she loves him a lot, so I can root for them. It's astounding to me that a Victorian man can write such good female characters. They get to be people--strong-willed, intelligent, flawed, the center of their own stories rather than just a prop in someone else's. My love for Valeria papered over a lot of other flaws in this story (some not-great use of disabled characters, for one), and I'm seriously considering picking up another of his books next month. (They have perfect November vibes).
The Leavenworth Case by Anna Katharine Green: Not technically Victorian (it's American), but still the right time period. Apparently, this is where a lot of the detective genre started. I love the detective--he's got a quirk of not making eye contact with people, and I love that he's explicitly so working-class than he can't pass himself off as a gentleman for investigating this high-society crime--but I don't care about any of the characters, and the writing's not great. (Though it's kind of hilarious how often the narrator gets information because people come up to him and go, "You're a lawyer, right? Let me ask for advice about an intricate situation that just happens to tie into the case you're investigating.") I'm about 2/3 done with the audiobook, but it's going to be a bit of a slog to finish.
A Child's Garden of Verses by Robert Louis Stevenson: I'd probably find this a bit too cutesy most of the time, but I read this on a Sunday when I was feeling under-the-weather, and it was exactly what I needed. Very sweet, easy read.
Wuthering Heights by Emile Brontë: I made it a chapter and a half. It's a Hard No.
Diary of a Nobody by George and Weedon Grossmith: I heard it was short and funny, so I tried a couple of pages. Maybe there's a cultural divide, but I just wasn't feeling it.
The Odd Women by George Gissing: I tried a couple of chapter of the audiobook, because a story about women working as typists in late-Victorian England sounds right up my alley. I'm only two chapters in, but I'm debating whether to go further, because he already writes about women like a man--way too detailed descriptions of their physical appearance that suggest they're already decrepit in their early 30s, a suggestion that "we leave it to the men to decide if she'd be attractive"--and that doesn't bode well for a book with a female cast. It is just about to introduce the "progressive" woman who's about to drag the main characters into this newfangled job, so maybe it'd get better, but I'm not sure I'm invested enough to try.

A lot of it is not new to me songs but some of it is and mostly making a playlist is new to me.
Flower, Flower Oh My Love Playlist.

favorite quote:
- "listen, this would be a better world if there was more singing and less dictating." - East Side of Heaven, 1939
-"When all inside you burns like a star
It's after you burn out that you are
Reborn again, reborn again
And maybe if you called out for help
Then I could help you outrun yourself
Come run again, we'll run again" - Your Blood, Aurora

“Holbein painted his second miniature of Anna, this time as queen consort, at some point in early 1540. Thanks to research by Franny Moyle, whose recent biography on Hans Holbein is quite comprehensive, it is now known that a miniature sometimes identified as Katheryn Howard, Henry's fifth wife, is more likely to be of Anna. The miniature is mounted on a four-of-diamonds playing card, a nod to Anna being Henry's fourth wife. Beyond this less than subtle element, using the evidence of our eyes, one can see that Anna of Cleves is the individual in the 1540 Holbein miniature.
The sitter wears the Consort's Necklace, with its combination of ruby, diamond and pearl in the jewel standing for hope, faith and charity. The hair colour of the sitter in this miniature matches Anna's braids in the Rosenkranzbruderschaft altarpiece from 1528. There are the physical features of the sitter as well, in particular her hooded eyelids. The very same eyelids are seen in the Louvre and Rosenbach portraits and the Holbein 1539 miniature of Anna. When specifically comparing the 1539 and 1540 miniatures, the eyebrows are the same and the nose, chin and mouth bear striking similarities.
The sitter's style of dress matches contemporary descriptions of Anna in that the woman is wearing the French fashion. As mentioned above, the sitter is wearing a high-collared shirt, which was popular in German fashion in the 1540s. Katharine of Aragon wore high-collared shirts as well, perhaps showing that both women sought to instil a sense of modesty in their dress. It has been hinted at that there are even stylized escarbuncles on the sitter's green sleeve, although it is hard to tell with any certainty. The portrait shows an adult woman, and Anna was twenty-four years old when she became queen. This is very different from Katheryn Howard, who was still a teenager when she married Henry. Given the fate of Katheryn Howard, it is possible that Henry had all images of her destroyed, much as he did for Anne Boleyn. For these reasons and more, the 1540 Holbein miniature should be recognised as depicting Anna of Cleves, not Katheryn Howard.”
— Heather R. Darsie, Children of the House of Cleves
