Abstract
At last, when the Duchess saw that no patterns would do her any good in framing her world; she resolved to make a world of her own invention, and this world was composed of sensitive and rational self-moving matter... which world after it was made, appeared so curious and full of variety, so well ordered and wisely governed, that it cannot possibly be expressed by words, nor the delight and pleasure which the Duchess took in making this world of her own. (BW, 188).
