Splash du Jour: Monday

Some guy, whom I cannot possibly agree with, says, of the venerable Thomas Hardy:
There is one fault in Mr. Hardy’s work that still jars... but which he can hardly be expected to eradicate, as it is temperamental – a certain slight coarseness of touch in his lovemaking... his women and men alike are always somewhat too obviously animal.

-- Richard Le Galliene, in Retrospective Reviews. A Literary Log II 1893-1895. --
Have a great Monday!
