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 of art each one of us may experience, but the indiscernable, where all these meet."
