[roses--and--rue]

Un port retentissant où mon âme peut boire À grands flots le parfum, le son et la couleur Où les vaisseaux, glissant dans l'or et dans la moire Ouvrent leurs vastes bras pour embrasser la gloire D'un ciel pur où frémit l'éternelle chaleur.

Je plongerai ma tête amoureuse d'ivresse Dans ce noir océan où l'autre est enfermé; Et mon esprit subtil que le roulis caresse Saura vous retrouver, ô féconde paresse, Infinis bercements du loisir embaumé!

Tyra Kleen, La Chevelure, 1905.

Tyra Kleen (March 29, 1874 - 1951) was a Swedish artist, writer, Bohemian figure and well-traveled adventurer and ethnographer. She studied art at a half-dozen different Academies and art-schools in Karlsruhe, Munich and Paris in the 1890s. From 1897 she lived in Rome and kept a studio there for about a decade. During that time she published a novel, under the pseudonym of “Isis”, about Bohemian life in Rome.

Later she traveled extensively in the Orient and produced drawings and book illustrations inspired by the cultures she experienced, usually in a Symbolist, art nouveau style.
