Edna St. Vincent Millay, Fatal Interview: from 'Now by this moon, before this moon shall wane...'

[rustbeltjessie]

Another thing I made on May 1st: my own copy of Edna St. Vincent Millay’s Fatal Interview. See, I’m working on a new project, which is, much like Fatal Interview, a sonnet sequence inspired by a love affair. I decided I needed a copy of the book to have near me while I work on it. I looked for used copies online; found some that weren’t too expensive but were still a greater expense than I can justify right now. Then I thought I’d just have to content myself with the .pdf, which, ugh. Then I remembered that I’ve got some amateur book-binding skills, so I printed out the book and made my own cover for it and stitched it all together with twine, and honestly this makes it even more special than if I’d purchased a copy.

🥀 Queen Mother of Vampires:

Akasha of Egypt

“I’d thought I knew what beauty was in women; but she’d surpassed all the language I had for it.”

-Lestat

The framed art on the wall in this scene is Louis Icart's Salome (1928).

Salome is known for her role in the death of John the Baptist, where she requested, upon being able to satisfy Herod with her dance, to be presented with his head. She was a popular depiction in the earlier half of the 20th century, and late 19th century, being seen as representation of the ultimate femme fatale - a character archetype of a woman out to achieve some aim and who, through her desirability, leads men to their doom.

There are arguably 3 femme fatales in this room.

Night is my sister,

Edna St. Vincent Millay, Fatal Interview: from 'Night is my sister, and how deep in love...'

[rustbeltjessie]

Love is not all; it is not meat nor drink Nor slumber nor a roof against the rain, Nor yet a floating spar to men that sink And rise and sink and rise and sink again; Love can not fill the thickened lung with breath, Nor clean the blood, nor set the fractured bone; Yet many a man is making friends with death Even as I speak, for lack of love alone. It well may be that in a difficult hour, Pinned down by pain and moaning for release, Or nagged by want past resolution’s power, I might be driven to sell your love for peace, Or trade the memory of this night for food. It well may be. I do not think I would.
