"A Revelation of Childhood"

"No; certainly I was not an extraordinary child [...] I had the usual desire to know, and the usual dislike to learn [...]". 

(Jameson, Anna: A Commonplace Book of Thoughts, Memories, and Fancies. Original and Selected. London: Longman, Brown, Green and Longmans, 1855, p. 123).

Langjährige Freundin der Ottilie von Goethe, fand ich zufälligerweise heraus, die Anna Jameson.
