“I always have such need to merely talk to you. Even when I have nothing to talk about – with you I just seem to go right ahead and sort of invent it. I invent it for you. Because I never seem to run out of tenderness for you and because I need to feel you near. Excuse the bad writing and excuse the emotional overflow. What I mean to say, perhaps, is that, in a way, I am never empty of you; not for a moment, an instant, a single second.”

“I can write the saddest poem of all tonight. I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too.”

In the last decade of the nineteenth-century, gowns inspired by antiquity offered a respite from the constricting understructure, heavy embellishment, and bright colors of contemporary fashionable dress. Because it typically incorporated fewer, less restrictive undergarments, this “new” style was considered a healthful alternative. Its promoters also considered it more beautiful than popular styles; to distinguish it from fashionable dress, the style was often called artistic dress. Unlike fashionable dress, late-nineteenth century classical dress revivals were less subject to the changing whims of fashion. By design, artistic dress featured fewer datable details; it was a style designed for the ages.
