I only just found this, a wonderful correction in the New York Times
dated May 19, regarding an article by Andrew O’Hagan, who for some reason they
don’t mention.
It runs “An article on May 12
about traveling alone quoted incorrectly from a letter that Henry James wrote
to his brother William from Rome. He boasted
about roaming the streets ‘from midday to dusk” (not “dust”).
Oh come on, “roaming till dust” is so much better. “Walking from dawn till dust” is better
still.
