Ero avvolta nella pelliccia
nera, nella pelliccia bianca
e tu mi svolgevi
e in una luce d’oro
poi m’incoronasti,
mentre fuori dardi di neve
diagonali battevano alla porta.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox: "Ridi e il mondo riderà con te. Piangi, e piangerai da solo..."
Ridi e il mondo riderà con te.
Piangi, e piangerai da solo.
Poiché il vecchio mondo triste deve prendere
in prestito la sua allegria,
ma ha già abbastanza guai per conto suo.
Canta, e le colline ti risponderanno.
Rene Magritte | La vie heureuse, 1944

Coco Chanel creò la nuova Donna del XX secolo
Forte ed ambiziosa, Gabrielle Coco Chanel (1883-1971), sovvertì la moda femminile costretta all’interno di rigidi schemi sociali, rivoluzionò il concetto di femminilità, imponendosi come figura fondamentale del fashion design e della cultura popolare del XX secolo.
Chanel non faceva parte della aristocrazia parigina, né dell’alta borghesia, ma riuscì a rendere à la page gli abiti delle sartine e delle commesse anche tra le ricche signore di Deauville.
Wisława Szymborska | Hatred
See how efficient it still is,
how it keeps itself in shape -
our century’s hatred.
How easily it vaults the tallest obstacles.
How rapidly it pounces, tracks us down.
It is not like other feelings.
At once both older and younger.
Out of Africa, 1985
"If I know a song of Africa, of the giraffe and the African new moon lying on her back, of the plows in the fields and the sweaty faces of the coffee pickers, does Africa know a song of me?
Will the air over the plain quiver with a color that I have had on, or the children invent a game in which my name is, or the full moon throw a shadow over the gravel of the drive that was like me, or will the eagles of the Ngong Hills look out for me?"
Robert Redford and Meryl Streep Shampoo Scene in "Out of Africa"
Karen Blixen | L'Incontro
Ah, quando sei lontano e nessuno
più nomina il tuo nome -
quando ovunque mi rechi sento
cupo e gelido un vuoto -
comincio a credere che tu sia solo un sogno
nato dalle brame della mia mente,
Charles-Amable Lenoir | Reverie, 1893

Love Letter from Balzac to Countess Ewelina Hańska
My beloved angel,
I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them.
I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.
I grasp you, I kiss you, I caress you, a thousand of the most amorous caresses take possession of me.
As for my heart, there you will always be - very much so. I have a delicious sense of you there.
But my God, what is to become of me, if you have deprived me of my reason?
Lorenzo Bartolini | Buste d'Ewelina Hańska, 1837 | Musée Bertrand, à Châteauroux, France
Cassie Phillips | Let them
If they want to choose something or someone over you,
Let them.
If they want to go weeks without talking to you,
Let them.
If they are okay with never seeing you,
Let them.

Cassie Phillips | Lasciali fare | La poesia
Se vogliono scegliere qualcosa o qualcuno al posto tuo,
Lasciali fare.
Se vogliono passare settimane senza parlarti,
Lasciali fare.
Se stanno bene a non vederti mai,
Lasciali fare.
Se stanno bene a mettere sempre se stessi al primo posto,
Lasciali fare.
Wisława Szymborska | Ruben's Women
Herculasses, a feminine fauna.
Naked as the crashing of barrels.
Cooped up atop trampled beds.
They sleep with mouths poised to crow.
Their pupils have retreated in the depths,
and penetrate to the heart of their glands,
trickling yeast into their blood.
Peter Paul Rubens | Venus in Front of the Mirror, (1614-1615) | Museo Nacional del Prado
Daughters of the Baroque. Dough bloats in a bowl,
baths are steaming, wines are blushing.
piglets of cloud are dashing across the sky,
trumpets neigh in physical alarm.
O pumpkinned, O excessive ones,
doubled by your unveiling,
trebled by your violent poses,
fat love dishes.
Peter Paul Rubens | Mars and Rhea Silvia, 1617
Their skinny sisters got up earlier,
before dawn broke within the painting,
and no one saw them walking single file
on the unpainted side of the canvas.
Exiles of style. Ribs all counted.
Birdlike feet and hands.
They try to ascend on gaunt shoulderblades.
The thirteenth century would have given them a golden backdrop.
The twentieth, a silver screen.
But the seventeenth has nothing for the flat-chested.
For even the sky curves in relief -
curvaceous angles, a curvaceous god -
a moustached Apollo astride a sweaty steed
enters the steaming bedchamber.
Wisława Szymborska (Polish poet, essayist, translato, and recipient of the 1996 Nobel Prize in Literature, 1923-2012)

Wisława Szymborska | Non ce l’ho con la primavera, 1993
Non ce l'ho con la primavera
perché è tornata.
Non la incolpo
perché adempie come ogni anno
ai suoi doveri.
Marc Chagall | Fleurs de printemps, 1930

Anna Klumpke | Catinou knitting, 1887
Encouraged by an independent, educationally oriented mother, Anna Elizabeth Klumpke (1856-1942) was a copyist in the Luxembourg Museum and studied at the Académie Julien in Paris.
She enjoyed an education guided by the concept that women artists could compete with their male counterparts.
In her memoirs of 1940, Klumpke cites a most influential moment in her childhood: receiving the gift of a Rosa Bonheur doll.
Her admiration of Bonheur, the French painter of animals, led her to paint the aging woman’s portrait - which is considered a companion piece to her portrait of leading suffragist Elizabeth Cady Stanton.
