Bits of Ivory

“The little bit of ivory on which I work with so fine a brush, as produces little effect after much labour.” - Jane Austen

Do you remember what you said to me once? That you could help me only by loving me? Well — you did love me for a moment; and it helped me. It has always helped me.

—Edith Wharton, The House of Mirth
