Katherine Mansfield
To work - to work! It is such infinite delight to know that we still have the best things to do.
Katherine Mansfield
You are a Queen. Let mine be the joy of giving you your kingdom.
Katherine Mansfield

Katherine Mansfield
I am a recluse at present & do nothing but write & read & read & write
Katherine Mansfield

Katherine Mansfield
