Dickens Crystalline Incandescence quote:[That these are not usually given to it,—that numbers of people accept a few stock commonplace expressions of the face as the whole list of characteristics, and neither seek nor know the refinements that are truest,—that You, for instance, give a great deal of time and attention to the reading of music, Greek, Latin, French, Italian, Hebrew, if you please, and do not qualify yourself to read the face of the master or mistress looking over your shoulder teaching it to you,—I assume to be five hundred times more probable than improbable. Perhaps a little self-sufficiency may be at the bottom of this; facial expression requires no study from you, you think; it comes by nature to you to know enough about it, and you are not to be taken in]
This is a series of web backgrounds using pale or pastel colors which I've constructed because I find most backgrounds on offer are too intrusive. The idea is that dark text should show up against the background. These crystalline incandescence backgrounds are copyright © Regard-it 2004.
