Assim, num dia claro e agradável, Gerda e Capa percorreram todo o navio, da ponte aos conveses e à sinistra casa de máquinas, tirando uma foto após a outra, e as fotografias de Gerda em particular tiveram a grandeza heroica do épico cinematográfico de Eisentein. Aqui estavam os marinheiros sorridentes se abraçando - click; bocas de canhão formando uma carreira perfeita de O's - click; foguistas musculosos de camiseta pegando carvão com as pás - click.
Reinava uma atmosfera de fiesta a bordo, e a tripulação havia formado uma banda improvisada, com um acordeão, um violão e uma gaita de foles galega.
Atrás dos músicos a tripulação se postava em postes de amarração e degraus de escada, sorrindo e batendo palmas pela música e pela bela moça loura e seu companheiro.
El cañón ruje, tiembla la tierra
Pero a Madri... NO PASARAN!
[O canhão ruge, a terra treme - Mas por Madri... NÃO PASSARÃO!]
Amanda Vaill, in: Hotel Flórida: Verdade, Amor e Morte na Guerra Civil Espanhola

From 1989: An interview with Agnes de Mille. She was something. As discussed, Amanda Vaill.
>>>>>
James Grissom: "Tennessee [Williams] said you were impatient and abrupt with him."
Agnes de Mille: "I'm an impatient and abrupt woman. I'm impatient and abrupt with you, as I'm sure you've noticed."
James Grissom: "He claims you were not sympathetic to his worries about the waning of his talent."
Agnes de Mille: "He was absolutely correct. I have no patience for people who seek approval for their existences. People who want you to remind them that they've done good work and should continue. It is not for me to decide. It is not for anyone to decide. I think we must all know ourselves and what we are and what we can do. I'm sure I told the same thing to Tennessee.
"I was a failure as a classical ballerina. I did not have the equipment. I think I had the temperament. I know I had the desire, but desire cannot transmit to the feet and the legs what it is they should do to become a dancer. I was not born with the rudiments of ballet. But I learned. I worked. I found a way to be useful, and I was often very good, and more often than not, merely good. You think I'm happy with that? On some deep level? I'm not. I wanted to be great. I'm not great.
"Martha Graham and Jerome Robbins are great. They are geniuses. I forgive them everything, even when they are merely good or very good. No one is a genius every day or every time they try to do something, but there is genius within what they've done. I am not a genius, so I've taken some tough criticism, even recently, which I probably deserve. But I don't complain. I don't stop. I hated that Tennessee felt that the approval of others was keeping him from working. Only Tennessee kept Tennessee from working.
"Tennessee was a genius. I believe that. I don't think the theatre could have grown if he hadn't decided to work within it. I absolutely believe that, and I told him that, and he wanted a pat on the back and some sweet talk with some wine that he mattered. This is nonsense. See, I'm abrupt. I'm also right. A genius can only be stopped by himself, and that is what Tennessee did. He silenced himself. And God, we needed him. We needed him to keep writing and trying. He was a genius."--Agnes de Mille/Interview with James Grissom/1989

Quote
'No matter what the material was,' says [John] Guare, 'if Jerry wanted to do it, people would follow him.' And if the material wasn’t right? In 1963, Robbins asked Bernstein to help him make a musical of Thornton Wilder’s apocalyptic 'The Skin of Our Teeth'. They started, but, as often happened, other obligations got in the way - for Lenny, the Philharmonic; for Jerry, Fiddler on the Roof. In 1964 they returned to the Wilder with high hopes; Comden and Green were now on board and New York was waiting. Six months later the project was abandoned, no explanations. Privately, Bernstein called it a 'dreadful experience'. The Robbins biographer Amanda Vaill suggests that Robbins may have become just too authoritarian for his On the Town family. Robbins himself wrote, 'We did not want to think of a world after a nuclear war.' Adam Green’s understanding from his father was that 'Jerry got restless and walked away, and then Lenny did, too.' Worse was Robbins’s attempt in 1968, revisited in 1986, to turn [Bertolt] Brecht’s play 'The Exception and the Rule' into a sort of musical vaudeville, a torturous episode for everyone involved, especially Bernstein. 'The material refused to be transformed,' says Guare, who was brought in to write the book. 'It was like dealing with a dead whale in the room. Lenny kept saying to Jerry, "Why do you need me in this show?" He was afraid he was just being used to supply incidental music and he wanted to make a statement that would give it importance. Jerry would not give him that opening.' Again, Jerry walked out of the project - in the middle of casting, no less - and Lenny burst into tears.

22, 16, 4, 3 (sorry if something repeated what you already answered)
from these book asks!
hi! thanks for asking me about books!
22. What’s the longest book you read?
according to storygraph, it was Everybody Was So Young by Amanda Vaill. which surprised me, because it was a pretty standard trade paperback and didn't feel terribly long! but i guess it covered the lifespans of two people who lived a lot of life, so that makes sense.
16. What is the most over-hyped book you read this year? now that i'm out of the bookstore biz i'm sort of immune to hype? haha. but the last book i read was Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir, which i imagine was a BIG release (and has SUPER high ratings on goodreads) but just wasn't my thing! it was probably very much the thing for people who read and loved The Martian, though.
4. Did you discover any new authors that you love this year?
oh, this is a good question. i stayed very in my comfort lane this year (grad school, mental health, etc etc) but i did love the queer sci-fi novella by Meredith Katz i read, and should absolutely seek out more. also i discovered Diana Souhami, who seems to write exclusively about queer artists in the European interwar period, which is VERY much my jam, so. will probably be reading more of her work.
5. What were your top five books of the year?
i'd say:
Ring Shout by P. Djèlí Clark, Gaudy Night by Dorothy L. Sayers, A Marvellous Light by Freya Marske, Winter's Orbit by Everina Maxwell, and Strong Wine by A.J. Demas

Sara Murphy (born Sara Sherman Wiborg), along with husband Gerald Murphy, was a wealthy, expatriate American couple who moved to the French Riviera in the early 20th century and who, with their generous hospitality and flair for parties, created a vibrant social circle, particularly in the 1920s, that included a great number of artists and writers of the Lost Generation.
Sara Sherman Wiborg (November 7, 1883 – October 10, 1975) was born in Ohio into the wealthy Wiborg family. Raised in Cincinnati, her family moved to Germany for several years when she was a teenager, so her father could concentrate on the European expansion of his company. The Wiborg family was easily accepted into the high society community of 20th-century Europe. While in Europe, Sara and her sisters sang together at high-class assemblies. Upon returning to the United States, the Wiborgs spent most of their time in New York City, and later East Hampton, where they built the 30-room mansion "The Dunes" on 600 acres just west of the Maidstone Club in 1912. It was the largest estate in East Hampton up to that time.
Gerald was born in Boston, of an Irish American background. Gerald was an aesthete from his childhood. He was never comfortable in the boardrooms and clubs for which his father was grooming him. He failed the entrance exams at Yale three times before matriculating, although he performed respectably there. He joined DKE and the Skull and Bones society. He befriended a young freshman named Cole Porter and brought him into DKE. Murphy also introduced Porter to his friends, propelling him into writing music for Yale musicals.
In East Hampton Sara Wiborg and Gerald Murphy met when they were both adolescents. Gerald was five years younger than Sara, and for many years they were more familiar companions than romantically attached; they became engaged in 1915, when Sara was 32 years old. Sara's parents did not approve of their daughter marrying someone "in trade," and Gerald's parents were not much happier with the prospect, seemingly because his father found it difficult to approve anything that Gerald did.
After marrying they lived in New York City, where they had three children. In 1921 they moved to Paris to escape the strictures of New York and their families' mutual dissatisfaction with their marriage. In Paris Gerald took up painting, and they began to make the acquaintances for which they became famous. Eventually they moved to the French Riviera, where they became the center of a large circle of artists and writers of later fame, especially Zelda and F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, John Dos Passos, Fernand Léger, Jean Cocteau, Pablo Picasso, Archibald MacLeish, John O'Hara, Cole Porter, Dorothy Parker and Robert Benchley.
Prior to their arrival on the French Riviera, the region was experiencing a period when the fashionable only wintered there, abandoning the region during the high summer months. However, the activities of the Murphys fueled the same renaissance in arts and letters as did the excitement of Paris, especially among the cafés of Montparnasse. In 1923 the Murphys convinced the Hotel du Cap to stay open for the summer so that they might entertain their friends, sparking a new era for the French Riviera as a summer haven. The Murphys eventually purchased a villa in Cap d'Antibes and named it Villa America, where they resided for many years. When the Murphys arrived on the Riviera, lying on the beach merely to enjoy the sun was not a common activity. Occasionally, someone went swimming, but the joys of being at the beach just for sun were still unknown at the time. The Murphys, with their long forays and picnics at La Garoupe, introduced sunbathing on the beach as a fashionable activity.
They had three children, Baoth, Patrick, and Honoria. In 1929, Patrick was diagnosed with tuberculosis. They took him to Switzerland, and then returned to the U.S. in 1934, where Gerald stayed in Manhattan to run Mark Cross, serving as president of the company from 1934 to 1956; he never painted again. Sara settled in Saranac Lake, New York to nurse Patrick, and Baoth and Honoria were put in boarding schools. In 1935, Baoth died unexpectedly of meningitis as a complication of measles, and Patrick succumbed to TB in 1937.
Later they lived at The Dunes. By 1941, the house proved impossible to rent, sell or even maintain; the Murphys had it demolished, and they moved to the renovated dairy barn. Gerald died October 17, 1964 in East Hampton, two days after his friend Cole Porter. Sara died on October 10, 1975 in Arlington, Virginia.
Nicole and Dick Diver of Tender Is the Night by F. Scott Fitzgerald are widely recognized as having been based on the Murphys, mainly from the marked physical similarities, although many of their friends, as well as the Murphys themselves, saw as much or more of Zelda and Scott Fitzgerald's relationship and personalities in the couple than those of the Murphys. Ernest Hemingway's couple in The Garden of Eden is not explicitly based on this pair, but given the similarities of the setting (Nice) and of the type of social group portrayed, there is clearly some basis for such an assumption. Guests of the Murphys often swam at Eden Roc, an event emulated in Hemingway's narrative.
Calvin Tomkins's biography of Gerald and Sara Murphy Living Well Is the Best Revenge was published in The New Yorker in 1962, and Amanda Vaill documented their lives in the 1995 book Everybody Was So Young. Both accounts are balanced, unlike some of the portrayals in the memoirs and fictitious works by their friends, including Fitzgerald and Hemingway. In 1982, Honoria Murphy Donnelly, the Murphys' daughter, with Richard N. Billings, wrote Sara & Gerald: Villa America and After.
Pablo Picasso, a friend of Sara's, painted her in several of his 1923 works: Femme assise les bras croisés, Portrait de Sarah Murphy, Buste de Femme (Sara Murphy), Femme assise en bleu et rose, and Woman Seated in an Armchair.

Đồ trang sức thiết kế thủy thủ Schepps
Ảnh: James Holland đó là không có gì tinh tế về trang sức thủy thủ Schepps. Ngọc lục Cabochon kích thước của đậu jelly. Một chiếc vòng tay chạm khắc ametit snuff chai twinkling với kim cương. Clip tai San hô koi cá bơi qua ngọc-và-Trân Châu “bọt.” Các mảnh vỡ với màu sắc và quyến rũ với ngây thơ đậm, phản ánh sự extroverted quyến rũ và sức sống của những người tạo ra chúng. “Ông đã có một chất lượng Damon Runyonesque về anh ta,” nhớ lại ông cháu gái Amanda Vaill, những người, với Janet Zapata, đã viết cuốn sách năm 2004 các thủy thủ Schepps: một thế kỷ của New York trang sức thiết kế. “Ông là một nhân vật đầy màu sắc, nghịch lý, lưỡi thô với một mắt tuyệt vời. Ông có thể thấy tiềm năng của một cái gì đó mà có thể được làm đẹp.” một doanh nhân tự làm từ sạn Lower East Side của Manhattan, những người đã được đặt theo tên của thủy ngân hàng tiết kiệm, Schepps blithely bỏ qua những giáo lý của thiết kế đồ trang sức Mỹ. Ông trộn khiêm tốn với haute-hồng tourmalines và kim cương, gỗ đàn hương và vàng, seashells và saphia- và sử dụng đá thiếu sót, khiếm khuyết mà chiếm được của mình tưởng tượng. Click vào đây để xem thư viện ảnh cho “thẩm định: Seaman Schepps.” ảnh: James Holland “Ông thực sự là một nhà ảo thuật với các vật liệu,” ông David Revere McFadden, trưởng phụ trách bảo tàng nghệ thuật và thiết kế ở New York, gắn kết một cuộc triển lãm tác phẩm của Schepps trong năm 2004. ” Thiết kế của mình là không về kim cương, Hồng ngọc và ngọc lục bảo, mặc dù ông chắc chắn đã sử dụng chúng, nhưng thay vì về chuyển những bất ngờ vào một cái gì đó đẹp và bất thường thị giác điện.” Schepps tăng sự nổi tiếng trong thập niên 1930 khi boutique Madison Avenue của ông đã trở thành một ám ảnh yêu thích của café society. Đồ trang sức độc đáo của ông exuded cosmopolitan phong cách và joie de vivre, không nghẹt, moneyed cổ tinh tế. Phụ nữ thời trang, độc lập không thể có đủ của vòng chunky và Trâm, hoa ghim gắn đá bán quý và 14-karat vàng, đã chi phí hợp lý hơn so với kim cương và platinum bijoux từ Cartier của mình. Tại sao đeo Hoa tai ngọc trai ghê khi bạn có thể thể thao cụm đá quý đầy màu sắc? Và phụ kiện tốt hơn cho nâng ly cocktail tại câu lạc bộ Cò hơn một dải quấn vàng lớn, lòng đam mê với kim cương và saphia? ông cao, công suất thiết kế scintillated trên các trang của tạp chí thời trang và gleamed ở cổ tay và earlobes của Coco Chanel , Katharine Hepburn, và nữ công tước Windsor. Cho người thừa kế Doris Duke, ông thiết kế một Trâm nho-cụm của ngọc bích có dấu với kim cương và ngọc lá. Ông hóm hỉnh Mousetrap bracelet, thực hiện liên kết vàng lớn được tổ chức với nhau bằng hồng ngọc và kim cương “lò xo”, là một yêu thích của Blanche Knopf, vợ của nhà xuất bản, người mặc họ ba một lần trên bà wrist. thời trang săn không chỉ fan của mình. Fidel Castro đã mua một chiếc vòng tay cho em gái mình (với du lịch kiểm tra), và Andy Warhol tích lũy một bộ sưu tập, bao gồm cả một chiếc vòng tay ngọc lục bảo, đá pha lê và kim cương từ thập niên 1940. Schepps, những người bỏ ra khỏi trường học tại 14, đã đi đến California và mở một cửa hàng có ở độ tuổi 20 của mình, trước khi quay trở về New York vào năm 1921. Ông đã không được đào tạo trong thiết kế đồ trang sức. Phương pháp của ông là để lắp ráp các loại đá trên răng sáp — một aquamarine nhỏ ở đây, một sapphire lớn đó, một sự hiểu biết sơ của viên kim cương ở giữa-phần thường có một cảm giác tự nhiên, giống như cắt dán. Ông có một họa sĩ mắt cho màu sắc, kết nối hạt San hô và ngọc lục cabochon trong một chiếc vòng cổ, hay kết hợp sinh động, gắn đá giống như kẹo cứng trong một chiếc vòng tay rực rỡ được gọi là Rio. bấm vào đây để xem thư viện ảnh cho “thẩm định: Seaman Schepps.” ảnh: James Holland “Ông sẽ ám ảnh cửa hàng trang sức sử dụng trên 47th Street và nhận tỷ lệ cược và kết thúc, như vòng đeo tay bị hỏng từ một số nữ bá tước người Nga di cư xuống trên may mắn của mình,” Vaill nhớ lại. ” Những trò đùa xung quanh văn phòng đã là bit của Fabergé trong một số phần Schepps.” nguồn cảm hứng của mình đến từ tất cả mọi thứ-một con bướm, một đứa trẻ của bản vẽ một gà- nhưng chủ yếu là nguyên vật liệu mà kích thích anh ta. Ông thấy kỳ diệu trong việc phổ biến. Turbo vỏ được chuyển thành huyền ảo tai bao quanh với dây vàng và mũ với đá đầy màu sắc, trở thành một trong những thiết kế nổi tiếng nhất của ông. Gỗ đàn hương và Mun morphed vào cảnh quan tuyệt đẹp vòng tay gỗ vàng liên kết; một đoạn của pha lê thiên nhiên đã trở thành một vòng loại trực tiếp. Khách hàng sẽ mang lại cho anh ta trang sức cũ của họ để làm lại thành miếng với thêm pizzazz. sau khi Schepps chết năm 1972 ở tuổi 91, con gái của Patricia Vaill tiếp tục để làm đồ trang sức cho đến năm 1992 khi cô đã bán công việc kinh doanh. Bây giờ nằm trên Park Avenue (với các chi nhánh ở Palm Beach và Nantucket), công ty tài liệu tham khảo các tài liệu lưu trữ rộng lớn — hơn 5.000 render và 650 khuôn mẫu — để phát hành lại và cập nhật các thiết kế của Schepps cũng như để tạo ra miếng gốc trong phong cách của mình. “Đồ trang sức của ông có vẻ như không ai khác,” ông chủ sở hữu đồng Jay Bauer. “Mọi người nhìn thấy nó và họ biết ngay rằng đó là thủy thủ Schepps.” ông miếng vintage là brisk người bán. Gần đây, Sotheby của bán được khoảng năm 1950-opal-và-kim cương đen dây chuyền và vòng đeo tay cho $47,500 và một bộ trang sức ngọc từ năm 1950 cho $26,250. “Schepps có một flair quý giá ít hơn [Fulco di] Verdura, người sử dụng nhiều loại đá tốt hơn,” Ông Robin Wright, một chuyên gia trang sức cho Sotheby’s. “Nhưng đồ trang sức của Schepps không phải là như vậy astronomically đắt tiền mà bạn đang sợ để mặc nó mỗi ngày.” Hoặc ít vào những dịp khi chỉ là một cái gì đó dễ thấy delightfully sẽ làm nơi để tìm thấy nó Seaman Schepps mang miếng phát hành lại và mới. Các đại lý cung cấp đồ trang sức vintage.

Greetings! 2, 11, 20, 23? (for the book ask!) Happy new year!! 🎉✨
from this ask meme!
hi! happy new year!
2. Did you reread anything? What?
oh boy yes, haha. i ended last year in the middle of the murderbot reread, then was distracted in january by everyone i knew getting super into peter wimsey, then i returned in march to murderbot. the way it worked out, i ended up reading All Systems Red and Rogue Protocol twice and Artificial Condition THREE times. (i was literally in the middle of rereading rogue protocol again when the clock struck midnight last night lol). i also reread Crooked House by Agatha Christie, which was my favourite Christie book when i discovered it as a kid and i found it definitely held up.
11. What was your favorite book that has been out for a while, but you just now read?
all the wimseys. well, Gaudy Night, if we're being specific. god i love harriet vane
20. What was your most anticipated release? Did it meet your expectations?
there were a lot of things i was anticipating which came out this year and i didn't get to them, mostly for mental health reasons. but i was very excited for both Winter's Orbit by Everina Maxwell and A Marvellous Light by Freya Marske, and i enjoyed them both enormously.
I was also extremely excited for the continuation/conclusion of KJ Charles Will Darling Adventures, AJ Demas' Sword Dance trilogy, and Felicia Davin's Nowhere books. all of those are queer romance adventures and all of them delivered so much. I'd say Strong Wine, the last of the Sword Dance trilogy, was my fave. Oh, and the newest Murderbot, of course! I LOVED Fugitive Telemetry, which also surprised me the most because i'm generally very uninterested in prequels.
23. What’s the fastest time it took you to read a book?
I read very quickly and read a lot of novellas, so this is difficult to answer! i will say i read nonfiction very slowly usually, but i tore through Everybody Was So Young by Amanda Vaill (finished in under a month), which was also the longest book i read in terms of page length. and at the height of my mystery-reading i got through a couple of audiobooks in a single day. it's all relative
