- Note Relating to Cather
In a piece in the Nebraska State Journal on John Ruskin, Cather quotes Part IV of Alfred de Musset's "Rolla."
In "Flavia and Her Artists," when Imogen Willard sees M. Emile Roux, she is shocked at how unlike he was to the picture his publishers liked to use, that of a "slender, black-stocked Rolla he had looked at twenty."
