From his journal: "As I was writing the concluding line of the preceding page last evening (about 1 o'clock) an ill-looking fellow opened my door without knocking, and muttering in German something which I did not comprehend, bid me put out my candle. Being in no very placid humor at the moment, as you see, I cursed him and sent him to hell in French and English. He advanced and was going to seize the candle. My umbrella, which had a dirk in the handle, being near me, I seized it, drew the dirk, and drove him out of the room."Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03437126903144301375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5022318990784415929.post-27505300618107031872017-06-17T22:37:19.883-04:002017-06-17T22:37:19.883-04:00The article on Mucha has Sarah Bernhardt as his mu...The article on Mucha has Sarah Bernhardt as his muse - it was a little surprising to me that you didn't name drop her!
