None of her friends seem to have reciprocated Ottoline's intensity, to have gone beyond the outside decor of flowing gowns and ostrich feathers, past the insistent questioning to the woman beneath. W.J. Turner, a little-known Australian poet, came closest to the truth in his novel The Aesthetes, where he wrote of yet another caricature of Ottoline--that she was "not the physical construction we may shake hands with or photograph, nor the intellectual or conceptual construction Darthy may present to us as a psychological fiction, nor the intuition-image each one of us may have, nor the work...

She spent her life trying to breach the defenses of those around her, but ultimately she could not reveal her own emotions. She expressed her energy as an intellectual phenomenon, unable to get to the passion beneath. As a result, her relationships ended with rejection of her domination.

...apparent heart attack; in Los Angeles. Herrmann's association with Orson Welles dated from the radio days of the 1930s to his scoring of Welles' landmark film Citizen Kane. Later, for such Sci-fi thrillers as The Day the Earth Stood Still and Beneath the 12-Mile Reef, he mingled discordant wails of electronic instruments to evoke the sounds of rolling thunder or blood-curdling shrieks. Among Herrmann's nonfilm credits were his opera Wuthering Heights (1950) and a cantata, Moby Dick...
