I thought this was well ...That's so funny (lol)<br />I thought this was well written as a post and I would look forward to a film by Emma Thompson on it. I also didn't know the painting Peace Concluded and must post that. Ruskin was a genius but should never have married. Still I think Rose gave him grief that drove him over the edge.Hermeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00968366076064269729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7700894621471344950.post-23397366226943198312011-06-17T07:03:02.579+01:002011-06-17T07:03:02.579+01:00If she married John Everett Millais merely to puni...If she married John Everett Millais merely to punish her insensitive first husband, I would say it was revenge. But Effie wanted to free herself from a nightmare non-marriage, find a warm caring man and have children. Which she did.<br /><br />In any case, revenge goes cool.. after a while. Love stays warm.<br /><br />You know what was even worse? Ruskin never acknowledged his arrogant insensitivity, as far as I can find. <br /><br />Ha ha.. the word verification for this post was "sperm"... I couldn't make this up if I tried :)Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.com
