The Matisse Stories

    Breakfast consisted of an A. S. Byatt short story called "Medusa's Ankles" from The Matisse Stories, a moderately entertaining New Yorker piece on the Japanese mob, toasted crumpets with butter and lemon marmalade, a fistful of blueberries, and loose leaf Earl Gray just a tad over-steeped.

      'What I dream of, is an art of balance, of purity, of quietness, without any disturbing subjects, without worry, which may be, for everyone who works with the mind, for the businessman as much as for the literary artist, something soothing, something to calm the brain, something analogous to a good armchair which relaxes him from his bodily weariness .' Matisse.
