Yes!

No

The Wings of the Dove, published in 1902, represents to my memory a very old-if I shouldn't perhaps rather say a very young-motive; I can scarce remember the time when the situation on which this long-drawn fiction mainly rests was not vividly present to me. The idea, reduced to its essence, is that of a young person conscious of a great capacity for life, but early stricken and doomed, condemned to die under short respite, while also enamoured of the world; aware moreover of the condemnation and passionately desiring to "put in" before extinction as many of the finer vibrations as possible, and so achieve, however briefly and brokenly, the sense of having lived.

Sorry, I know I was just Henry James tweeting last night, but I woke up this morning thinking about how fucked up The Wings of the Dove is and how often in James's novels, characters get what they most want and then it ruins their lives thoroughly and completely.

@hilary_mckay @samuelsedgman Oooooh Hilary, fabulous. Not far away is Campo Stefano where I once found wee alleyway with door, brass nameplate Curtis: entrance to Palazzo Barbaro where Henry James wrote & set The Aspern Papers in walled garden. Wings of the Dove filmed there. Did think about climbing wall…
