La bailarina española vista por dos artistas coetáneos: el pintor John Singer Sargent y el poeta Rainer María Rilke.

Como en la mano una cerilla, blanca,

antes de ser llama, extiende por todos los lados

estremecidas lenguas, así empieza, en un círculo

cercano de espectadores, a ensancharse brusca

su danza redonda, rápida, clara y ardiente.

Y de repente es toda, toda llama.

Con una mirada enciende su pelo

y lanza de golpe con atrevido arte

todo su vestido en aquel incendio,

del que, como serpientes espantadas,

se estiran crepitantes sus brazos, nudos, despiertos.

Y después, como si el fuego le fuera poco,

lo reúne otra vez todo y lo arroja,

dominadora, con gesto altanero,

y lo ve: allí, furioso en el suelo,

y llamea todavía y no se rinde.

Pero victoriosa, segura, saludando

con una sonrisa dulce, erguida la cabeza,

lo apaga con sus breves, firmes pies.

Young Woman with Ibis | Edgar Degas | 1862 | MET NY

“Degas made sketches of this composition in a notebook he used during his second stay in Rome in 1857–58. Originally conceived as a depiction of a pensive woman, the picture assumed a mysterious air when Degas added the imaginary Middle Eastern cityscape, the pink flowers, and the two red ibises around 1860–62. About the same time he also considered adding the brilliant birds to his large historical painting Semiramis Building Babylon (Musée d'Orsay, Paris).”
