Henry James died today – 92 years ago

Writer (think: “The Bostonians” and “The Wings of the Dove”) Henry James was born on April 15, 1843 in New York City, New York. He said, “The only success worth one's powder was success in the line of one's idiosyncrasy... what was talent but the art of being completely whatever one happened to be?" [Therefore, make the most of what you’re good at doing, even though others make the most of what they’re bad at doing.]... Mr. James died on February 28, 1916 in London, England.
