osprey_archerForty-one pages.
Forty-four references.
12,075 words.
And the draft of my history capstone is complete!
(For now. I need a mere twenty more pages to make it an honors project. Piece of cake, y/y?)
And for your delectation, a quote from the immortal Josephine Preston Peabody. (In the introduction to JPP's diary, the editor notes that "In this book...emphasis has been put upon the growth of a creative artist, in the hope that young artists may here find a companion." I may feel this with a certain over-literalness.)
"The reason why I never read anything in the Athenaeum is because I have too many books around me and I’m so greedy and so disquieted by the look of all the unread, and the vague summons of the two floors above and the two galleries to a floor, that my mind is incapacitated and I flutter helplessly between destiny and free will and get nothing from either; only lose a train or two and come home late to tea."
