I finally went to see the Sleeping Beauties exhibition at the Met, and I think someone there has been in our #MrsD#AMonthOfDick reading groups:

Label from the Metropolitan Museum’s Sleeping Beauties exhibition. The text begins “‘It is the hat that matters the most,’ notes Rezia, the Italian milliner in Virginia Woolf's novel Mrs. Dalloway (1925).”
Label from the Metropolitan Museum’s Sleeping Beauties exhibition. The text begins “‘Everyone knows meditation and water are wedded forever,’ Herman Melville exclaimed in Moby-Dick; or, The Whale (1851), a sentiment echoed in the garments in this gallery.”
