“Show me the place.”
Duke Senior
in As You Like It (2.1)
81: The Mount; Lenox, Mass.; home of Edith Wharton, 1902-11
We’ve seen The Mount, oh, several times*—
My folks lived quite nearby.
It’s not exactly like our house—
One glance will show you why.
But Edith Wharton in that house
Could write with fluid art.
She found a way to blend the best—
That mix of mind and heart.
