From the Other Side

Excerpt from From the Other Side: Stories of Transatlantic Travel
Yes, I think I may say that in general my portraits are rather well thought of. By "my portraits" I mean, not those that other people paint of me, but those that I paint of them. Stanhope, too, shares the common opinion, though what we artists think of an opinion that is purely literary everybody knows. He is constantly referring to my "art." I seldom refer to his. That piques him. But I do not acknowledge that literature is an art, - except, perhaps, in some secondary, subsidiary sense; for of late, it is true, "we others" have rather favored that metier. But we must frame our pictures.
