isamemoirpublished in 1888. It chronicles Moore's fifteen years in Paris and London as a struggling young artist immersed in bohemian life. The book vividly por trays the artistic and sensual pleasures of 1870s-80s Paris, where the narra tor moves among painters, poets, actresses, and courtesans while absorbing French literary and impressionist theories. Notable for introducing English readers to emerging French Impressionists like Manet and Degas, itshocked Victorian audiences with its frank energy and unconventional morality so far as I understand it, has very kindly taken colour and form from the many various modes of life that self-will and an impetuous temperament have forced me to indulge in. Therefore I may say that I am free from original qualities, defects, tastes, etc. What I have I acquire, or, to speak more exactly, chance bestowed, and still bestows, upon me. I came into the world apparently with a nature like a smooth sheet of wax, bearing no impress, but capable of receiving any; of being moulded into all shapes. Nor am Iexaggerating when I say I think that I might equally have been a Pharaoh, an ostler, a pimp, an archbishop, and that in the fulfilment of the duties of each a certain measure of success would have beenmine. Ihavefelt thegoadofmanyimpulses,Ihavehuntedmanyatrail;whenonescentfailed anotherwastakenup,andpursuedwiththepertinacityofaninstinct,rather than the fervour of a reasoned conviction. Sometimes, it is true, there came momentsofweariness,ofdespondency,buttheywerenotenduring: aword spoken,abookread,oryieldingtotheattractionofenvironment,Iwassoon off in another direction, forgetful of past failures. Intricate, indeed, was the labyrinth of my desires; all lights were followed with the same ardour, all cries were eagerly responded to: they came from the right, they came from the left, from every side.
