She longed to move the stars...
7.5"w x 9.5"h
“...as if the fullness of the soul did not sometimes overflow in the emptiest metaphors, since no one can ever give the exact measure of his needs, nor of his conceptions, nor of his sorrows; and since human speech is like a cracked tin kettle, on which we hammer out tunes to make bears dance when we long to move the stars.”
Happy Weekend!

What a great quote and painting! I adore Madame Bovary... a sad tale but there are so many 'feels' in there that describe the melancholy moods of a woman.
