Help needed to find a Henry james quote

**daniel1** · 05-04-2007, 05:20 AM

Hi, I would appreciate any help with the below Henry James quote. I need the details of the source (title, date, page number) for an essay but forgot to source it at the time

.

‘Experience is never limited and it is never complete…it is an immense sensibility, a kind of spiders web of the finest silken thread suspended in the chambers of consciousness and catching every airborne particle in its tissue…’

Thanks

Sorry to be a pain but I've got a deadline! I've had a good look on the net and can't find any reference to Evasion of the Pictorial. It's as if it doesn't exist! Has anyone got any ideas how to get a copy in the UK, or an article on the net which refers to the quote I need? There's a paper by Mark desiderio in HJ Review, but my athens account isn't regsistered.

Thanks Moira, I'll order Mark Desiderio's article from the British Library.

Ah, found it in the 'Art of fiction,' (hence Desiderio's 'Art of friction?), found it at http://guweb2.gonzaga.edu/faculty/ca...rtfiction.html
paragraph 6. Still have to get the page number though!

I don't know if this will help you, but here's the citation for it in The Portable Henry James (Roughly MLA, so you'll have to jack around with it):

James, Henry. "The Art of Fiction." The Portable Henry James. ed. John Auchard. New York: Penguin, 2004. 426-47.
The exact page in this book is 434.
