![A photo of a page in the book “The Extreme Self” which holds this quote:
“You sometimes hear people say that the nineteenth century really ended not in 1900 but in 1914. But there are different ways of measuring an epoch. [However] there is something satisfying about the fin de siècle, some confirmation of the rightness of the patterns we impose. As Focillon observed, the anxiety reflected by the fin de siècle is perpetual, and people don't wait for centuries to end before they express it.
Any date can be justified on some calculation or other?
