Haply I May Remember

Résumé du livre

"This is not an autobiography (of Lady Cynthia Charteris (1887-1960), a member of the literary English aristocracy, who on her marriage became the daughter-in-law of a Herbert Asquith, the British Prime Minister). It is instead a book of chosen reminiscences: of houses and the life within those houses, of family (Wemyss and Wyndham), and of friends. Drawn by Edward Burne-Jones, John Sargent, and painted by Augustus John, she numbered DH Lawrence, LP Hartley, Detmar Blow, John Galsworthy, HG Wells, and JM Barrie (creator of 'Peter Pan') amongst her many friends. The title of this book is taken from verse by Christina Rossetti:" And dreaming throught the twilight That doth not rise nor set, Haply I may remember, And haply may forget."
