From Chesterton's Heretics:

"We should really be much more interested in Mr. Moore if he were not quite so interested in himself. We feel as if we were being shown through a gallery of really fine pictures, into each of which, by some useless and discordant convention, the artist had represented the same figure in the same attitude. "The Grand Canal with a Distant View of Mr. Moore," "Effect of Mr. Moore through a Scotch Mist,' 'Mr. Moore by Firelight,' 'Ruins of Mr. Moore by Moonlight,' and so on seems to be the endless series." 

Now, I have no idea what that Mr. Moore looked like, but to the left and above is a possibility, which bears a resemblance to a similar Mr. Moore.

And here's my attempt at "The Grand Canal with a Distant View of Mr. Moore" -- thank you, Wikipedia.
