mr rosedale, you're wrong about lily. what she likes is not the luxury and opulence of high society; what she likes is to revel in what was idealised by her mother in her childhood, and to live as if she has not a care in the world. she is after the blissful ignorance that accompanies a sheltered, wealthy existence.

i am obsessed with lily bart. i want to psychoanalyse her soooo bad

"banishing the phantom of his dead beauty by the beams of her living grace" EDITH WHARTON YOU HAVE NEVER FAILED ME !!!!!!!!
