...Miss Havisham--who throws open the doors on an alien world of poetry and music and Continental panache (everything forbidden to an English boy). Madame Crommelynck also starts to comment on what we have been reading, asserting that "Beautiful words ruin your poetry" and "A poet throws all but truth in the cellar."
