on William F. Buckley, Jr. Great blog. If you click on the title of this post it should take you directly to the nytimes.com website.
This was great from the story, a dedication that Buckley once wrote to Cavett in a book:
To Richard, in deepest gratitude for “More in Seurat than in Ingres.” May I use it?
With affection,
Bill
Now, I was really confused as to WTF this means, it's in reference to french painters but what was the play on words on...
somebody posted this in a comment:
It always hurts to have to explain a bon mot, but here goes:
Hamlet: What, look’d he frowningly?
Horatio: A countenance more in sorrow than in anger.
So there you go!
