Member of Peak District Artisans (peakdistrictartisans) ** "I am Envy..I cannot read and therefore wish all books burned" Original quote: “I am Envy, begotten of a chimney-sweeper and an oyster-wife. I cannot read, and therefore wish all books were burnt; I am lean with seeing others eat - O that there would come a famine through all the world, that all might die, and I live alone; then thou should'st see how fat I would be! But must thou sit and I stand? Come down, with a vengeance!” - Christopher Marlowe, Doctor Faustus. *** Elizabeth K. Forrest. Welsh born artist now living in Chesterfield, Derbyshire.
