A short thought from my journal of 44 years ago on the shortest day of the year:

Tonight I also viewed … an episode of “The Duchess of Duke Street.” The latter was masterfully crafted, and contained a character whose paintings “have the sort of talent young ladies display for their governesses and then abandon.” I often wonder whether I, like he, will never be able to create good art.

Howard W. Fielding, “Journal,” 21 December 1978
