Cover: Meghan Markle having twin girls (oops!)

Page 1: Famous for doing his own stunts, Tom Cruise helicoptered in to the tiny English village of Levisham to film aboard, or rather hanging off of, a vintage train and along for the ride was his Mission: Impossible 7 costar Hayley Atwell, who was spotted running along the top of the North Yorkshire Moors Railway car and while the pair, surrounded by crew and tech experts, were total pros, it's an open secret on set that their romance is going strong and Tom and Hayley hang out non-stop when the cameras are off and are pretty much joined at the hip but not in a showy, PDA way; it's a very discreet thing they've got going on -- off-camera, 58-year-old Tom and 39-year-old Hayley enjoy quiet nights holed up in Tom's London digs, eating meals specially prepared by his private chef and they'll watch movies or read books or just chill out doing their own thing -- chilling out isn't Tom's forte, as audio leaked of him berating the film's crew for violating COVID-19 protocols, but things have calmed down considerably as the spy flick, due in theaters May 2022, closes in on its wrap date, but the ensuing publicity push will put Tom and Hayley's relationship front and center, but don't expect the devoted Scientologist to jump on any couches (a la Katie Holmes) announcing wife No. 4 as Tom has learned the hard way about putting everything out there and getting picked to pieces; this time, it's all about subtlety

Page 2: Contents, Cher got up and personal with the World's Loneliest Elephant Kaavan, who she helped relocate to Cambodia

Page 3: Brie Larson in a swimsuit with butterflies on it during a getaway to Hawaii, with headphones at the ready Brooke Burke was itching to cut a rug with friends before teaching a silent disco cardio party at the Rafi Lounge in Malibu, Maria Shriver and Christina Schwarzenegger enjoyed some quality time on a stroll in L.A., Boy George sporting a bold look on The Jonathan Ross Show in London

Page 4: In a recent interview, AnnaLynne McCord revealed a shocking diagnosis: for years, the 90210 alum has been battling dissociative identity disorder (often erroneously referred to as multiple personality disorder) -- she told Dr. Daniel Amen she is absolutely uninterested in shame about opening up despite the stigma surrounding mental-health issues because that's how we get to the point where we can articulate the nature of these pervasive traumas as horrible as they are -- for her part, the 33-year-old traces back her troubles to sexual abuse she suffered as a child and as had many of the 200,000 people diagnosed with DID each year, she suppressed those horrific memories and it was only within the past few years that they began to resurface, largely after she sought treatment for PTSD related to another sexual assault and she doesn't have any memories of abuse until around 5, then from 5 to 11, she recounts incidents throughout and then, when she was 13, she has a singled-out memory and it was at that age that she developed what doctors call a second personality identity: as Little Ann, the Georgia-born daughter of a pastor said she was balls to the wall, middle fingers to the sky, anarchist from hell who will stab you with the spike ring that she wears and that helped her survive her nightmarish situation -- ironically, acting created the same dynamic, making it sometimes difficult for AnnaLynne to let go of characters she'd played and all of her roles were splits but she didn't even realize she was doing it

Page 5: Jennifer Aniston wasn't exactly touched when Justin Theroux gushed about how much he still loves her in the issue of Esquire -- complaining about feeling like a hermit during the pandemic, 49-year-old Justin nearly got misty discussing FaceTiming and texting his ex, saying he cherishes their friendship and they can not be together and still bring each other joy and he'd be bereft if they weren't still in touch and he'd like to think the same for her -- but 52-year-old Jen, whose love life has been low-key since the pair's 2018 divorce, has stayed on good terms with most of her exes including Brad Pitt but doesn't want anything more than a friendship with Justin and sure, it's flattering but she's just moved on and wishes he would too, and that goes double for some of her friends who griped that Justin tried to milk Jen's connections to further his career -- in the end, Justin needs to know he's got no chance whatsoever of winning Jen back and she doesn't feel anything remotely close to passion for him anymore

* Roseanne Barr showed off her newly svelte frame on Instagram -- back in 1998, she lost 100 lbs after undergoing gastric-bypass surgery, but yo-yo'd over the next decades but now she's determined to keep the weight off by totally changing the way she eats and she's growing her own fruits and vegetables and has a whole new appreciation of food

* Five months after he entered the Federal Correctional Institution, Mossimo Gianulli finished up his stint at his plush Hidden Hills home and now, the 57-year-old, who along with wife Lori Loughlin, pleaded guilty to paying a $500,000 bribe to get their kids into USC, can't wait to get back to normal and his biggest priority, besides spending time with Lori and the girls, is to get out there on the golf course -- the designer, worth a reported $70 million, still has to perform 250 hours of community service while Lori, who finished up her prison stint in December, is chipping away at hers, doling out meals at L.A.'s Project Angel Food -- Lori and Mossimo have resolved not to dwell on the past and they want to move forward with a positive and grateful attitude

Page 6: Fans of Angelina Jolie's stunts in movies like Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and Mr. & Mrs. Smith are looking forward to her return to the screen as a wildfire fighter in Those Who Wish Me Dead and in the upcoming Marvel flick Eternals but 45-year-old Angie would rather be behind the camera and she explained the real reason behind her comeback is she loves directing, but she had a change in her family situation that's not made it possible for her to direct for a few years and she needed to just do shorter jobs and be home more, so she went back to doing a few acting jobs -- that change in her family situation, of course, is her divorce from Brad Pitt, ongoing since their 2016 split and with no bitter end in sight and it could drag on for years

* Catherine Zeta-Jones says it's no secret her 20-year marriage to 76-year-old Michael Douglas hasn't been easy and it wouldn't be normal if there weren't any ups and downs -- it's another Michael, her Prodigal Son costar Michael Sheen, who has friends whispering as both are Welsh and only a year apart, the two have been having a lot of fun shooting the serial-killer drama and they had never met before the series but they keep discovering how much they have in common -- while Michael, who has been linked with Kate Beckinsale, Rachel McAdams and Sarah Silverman, has been with Anna Lundberg for two years, friends can't help worrying because it's a little to close for comfort

Page 26: Travis Barker didn't hold back in his birthday tribute to girlfriend Kourtney Kardashian -- sharing a series of sexy shots with 42-year-old Kourtney, including a NSFW video of Kourtney sucking his thumb and the rocker's risque pics quickly went viral, as did Kourt's TMI essay posted to her health and wellness site Poosh titled "Rough Sex: Love It or Leave It?" -- definitely leave it, if it were up to the pair's kids; 17-year-old Landon and 15-year-old Alabama, who are 45-year-old Travis' children with ex-wife Shanna Moakler, are mortified by their dad's behavior and like most teenagers, the two are active on social media and can't avoid the new couple's loved-up posts and Travis' kids are happy that he's happy, but the PDA is weird and takes some getting used to, while Travis' stepdaughter Atiana De La Hoya, on the other hand, doesn't seem to have a problem as the 22-year-old posted a heart-eyes emoji -- as for spending time with Mason, 11, Penelope, 8, and 6-year-old Reign, Kourt's kids with ex Scott Disick, the pair try to restrain themselves but still the lovebirds are happily oblivious and have a hard time toning it down and Kourt and Travis are just being themselves and going with the flow; they're in love and want the world to know it

Page 27: After 10 months of dating Australian model Vanessa Valladares, Zac Efron is officially back on the market -- 33-year-old Zac called it off with the 25-year-old after things got too serious, too soon and they spent every moment together and it was too claustrophobic for him, as Vanessa, who quit her job and gave up everything to be with Zac, became a fixture on set as he worked on Down to Earth with Zac Efron and he felt guilty that she was giving up her dreams and aspirations to be with him -- despite their split, Zac, who had put his L.A. home on the market and extended his stay in Australia after meeting Vanessa, has no plans to rush back to the States because he has made a lot of friends there and feels at home

* Like many planning their vows during the pandemic, Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost had to get strategic when it came to their big day -- Scarlett said they wanted it to feel like it had an intentional intimacy as opposed to being something that felt like they were restricted by all these things -- the intimate and small event the pair threw was at their $4 million Palisades, N.Y. home in October and the ultra-private pair kept their guests safe, and the guest list was tiny and it was understated but lovely, just what they wanted -- now Scarlett and Colin have settled in to married life and Scarlett and Colin both like to steer clear of the spotlight which makes them perfectly suited for each other

* Vanessa Hudgens revealed the surprising way she was introduced to boyfriend Cole Tucker, who she's been dating since November -- 32-year-old Vanessa and 24-year-old Cole met on a Zoom meditation group and Vanessa admits that the Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop is just perfect for her and Vanessa and Cole, who debuted their romance on Valentine's Day, moved their budding friendship offline after feeling sparks via the virtual meeting app and they started communicating on their own and found out they have a lot in common -- now Vanessa, who dated Austin Butler for nine years before their 2020 split, is zooming ahead and she doesn't want to rush or jinx things, but she's saying Cole could be The One

Why Octavia E Butler’s novels are so relevant today

It’s campaign season in the US, and a charismatic dark horse is running with the slogan ‘make America great again’. According to his opponent, he’s a demagogue; a rabble-rouser; a hypocrite. When his supporters form mobs and burn people to death, he condemns their violence “in such mild language that his people are free to hear what they want to hear”. He accuses, without grounds, whole groups of people of being rapists and drug dealers. How much of this rhetoric he actually believes and how much he spouts “just because he knows the value of dividing in order to conquer and to rule” is at once debatable, and increasingly beside the point, as he strives to return the country to a “simpler” bygone era that never actually existed.

More like this:

- The 1968 novel that predicted today

- The fiction that predicted space travel

- The story of cannibalism that came true

You might think he sounds familiar – but the character in question is Texas Senator Andrew Steele Jarret, the fictional presidential candidate who storms to victory in a dystopian science-fiction novel titled Parable of the Talents. Written by Octavia E Butler, it was published in 1998, two decades before the inauguration of the 45th President of the United States.

Like much of her writing, Butler’s book was a warning about where the US and humanity in general might be heading. In some respects, we’ve beaten her to it: a sequel to 1993’s Parable of the Sower, Parable of the Talents is set in what is still the future, 2032. While its vision is extreme, there is plenty that feels within the bounds of possibility: resources are increasingly scarce, the planet is boiling, religious fundamentalism is rife, the middle classes live in walled-off enclaves. The novel’s protagonist, a black woman like the author herself, fears that Jarret’s authoritarianism will only worsen matters.

Fourteen years after her early death, Butler’s reputation is soaring. Her predictions about the direction that US politics would take, and the slogan that would help speed it there, are certainly uncanny. But that wasn’t all she foresaw. She challenged traditional gender identity, telling a story about a pregnant man in Bloodchild and envisaging shape-shifting, sex-changing characters in Wild Seed. Her interest in hybridity and the adaptation of the human race, which she explored in her Xenogenesis trilogy, anticipated non-fiction works by the likes of Yuval Noah Harari. Concerns about topics including climate change and the pharmaceutical industry resonate even more powerfully now than when she wove them into her work.

And of course, by virtue of her gender and ethnicity, she was striving to smash genre assumptions about writers – and readers – so ingrained that in 1987, her publisher still insisted on putting two white women on the jacket of her novel Dawn, whose main character is black. She also helped reshape fantasy and sci-fi, bringing to them naturalism as well as characters like herself. And when she won the prestigious MacArthur ‘genius’ grant in 1995, it was a first for any science-fiction writer.

Octavia Estelle Butler was born on 22 June 1947. Her father, a shoeshiner, died when she was very young, and she was raised by her mother, a maid, in Pasadena, California. As an only child, Butler began entertaining herself by telling stories when she was just four. Later, tall for her age and painfully shy, growing up in an era of segregation and conformity, that same storytelling urge became an escape route. She read, too, hungrily and in spite of her dyslexia. Her mother – who herself had been allowed only a scant few years of schooling – took her to get a library card, and would bring back cast-off books from the homes she cleaned.

An alternate future

Through fiction, Butler learnt to imagine an alternate future to the drab-seeming life that was envisioned for her: wife, mother, secretary. “I fantasised living impossible, but interesting lives – magical lives in which I could fly like Superman, communicate with animals, control people’s minds”, she wrote in 1999. She was 12 when she discovered science fiction, the genre that would draw her most powerfully as a writer. “It appealed to me more, even, than fantasy because it required more thought, more research into things that fascinated me,” she explained. Even as a young girl, those sources of fascination ranged from botany and palaeontology to astronomy. She wasn’t a particularly good student, she said, but she was “an avid one”.

After high school, Butler went on to graduate from Pasadena City College with an Associates of Arts degree in 1968. Throughout the 1970s, she honed her craft as a writer, finding, through a class with the Screen Writers’ Guild Open Door Program, a mentor in sci-fi veteran Harlan Ellison, and then selling her first story while attending the Clarion Science Fiction Writer’s Workshop. Supporting herself variously as a dishwasher, telemarketer and inspector at a crisp factory, she would wake at 2am to write. After five years of rejection slips, she sold her first novel, Patternmaster, in 1975, and when it was published the following year, critics praised its well-built plot and refreshingly progressive heroine. It imagines a distant future in which humanity has evolved into three distinct genetic groups, the dominant one telepathic, and introduces themes of hierarchy and community that would come to define her work. It also spawned a series, with two more books, Mind of My Mind and Survivor, following before the decade’s end.

With the $1,750 advance that Survivor earnt her, Butler took a trip east to Maryland, the setting for a novel she wanted to write about a young black woman who travels back in time to the Deep South of 19th-Century America. Having lived her entire life on the West Coast, she travelled by cross-country bus, and it was during a three-hour wait at a bus station that she wrote the first and last chapters of what would become Kindred. It was published in 1979 and remains her best-known book.

The 1980s would bring a string of awards, including two Hugos, the science-fiction awards first established in 1953. They also saw the publication of her Xenogenesis trilogy, which was spurred by talk of ‘winnable nuclear war’ during the arms race, and probes the idea that humanity’s hierarchical nature is a fatal flaw.The books also respond to debates about human genetic engineering and captive breeding programs for endangered species.

In her author photos, Butler appears a serious woman with an exceptionally penetrating gaze. At a talk she gave in Washington DC in 1991, later reported in the radical feminist periodical, Off Our Backs, she offered a fuller description of herself: “comfortably asocial – a hermit in the middle of Los Angeles – a pessimist if I’m not careful, a feminist, a black, a former Baptist, an oil-and-water combination of ambition, laziness, certainty and drive”.

That certainty and drive can be seen in papers from her archive, now housed at the Huntington Library. In 1998, some motivational notes written on the back of a ring-bound writing pad begin “I shall be a bestselling writer!” She goes on: “I will find the way to do this! So be it! See to it!” Elsewhere, she’s to be found urging herself to “tell stories filled with facts. Make people touch and taste and know. Make people feel! Feel! Feel!”

Butler died in 2006, following a fall near her home in Washington state. Though she had begun suffering from writer’s block and depression, caused in part by medication for her high blood pressure, she’d continued to teach, and in 2005, had been inducted into Chicago State University’s international black writers hall of fame. She published a novel that year, too, Fledgling, whose vampire heroine must avenge a vicious attack, and rebuild her life and family. By then, her books had been translated into 10 languages, selling more than 1 million copies altogether.

In the years since, her fanbase has only grown. It turns out that she didn’t invent the campaign slogan beloved by Trump. It was used by Ronald Reagan in his 1980 presidential campaign, and later by Bill Clinton, although later he described the phrase as a “racist dog whistle to white southerners”. Nevertheless, as Tarshia L Stanley, dean of the school of humanities, arts and sciences at St Catherine University, notes, when readers spotted during the 2016 US election that Butler had chosen the slogan for Jarret, it “jarred people into recognising that she’s been doing this work all along. She’d been trying to tell us that if we do not make changes, this is what’s going to happen. She constantly gave that message: this is the logical conclusion if we keep treading down this path. I think when people saw that phrase, it started a whole new group of people reading her work.”

Butler’s work is today the subject of fan fiction, television adaptations (there are at least two in the works), and lively attention on college campuses, where it’s read from perspectives as varied as critical race theory, Afrofuturism, black feminism, queer theory and disability studies. Stanley, who last year edited the essay collection Approaches to Teaching the Works of Octavia E Butler, is also president of a society dedicated to the author. Its membership is broad, she says, but the most gratifying surprise is how many young people Butler’s work is engaging. At the inaugural conference, there was even a panel of high-school kids.

What would Butler have made of the present political moment in the US? “I don’t think she would have been surprised”, Stanley says. She puts Butler’s ability to envisage our future down to a deep understanding of human nature – knowledge gained from having the role of outsider foisted on her in girlhood. This she backed up with research, reading journals including Scientific American, listening to lectures, travelling as far as the Amazon. For Stanley, the one lesson to take from Butler’s work is hope. “World building is huge in her canon, and so there is always hope that since we built this world, we can build another one.”

There’s a scene in Parable of the Sower when the best friend of heroine Lauren Olamina insists “Books aren’t going to save us”. Lauren replies: “Use your imagination,” telling her to search her family’s bookshelves for anything that might come in handy. “Any kind of survival information from encyclopedias, biographies, anything that helps you learn,” she goes on. "Even some fiction might be useful".

Butler’s novels are just that kind of fiction. The child who began writing as a means of escape, ended up crafting potent calls to socio-political action that seem ever more pertinent to our survival as a species.

Parable of the Sower, Parable of the Talents, and other books by Octavia Butler are published by Headline.

343Ja. Gilbert Burnet. 16143-1714 & 343Jb. William Congreve 1670-1729

Two pamphlets on Queen Mary II.

Mary II (30 April 1662 – 28 December 1694) was Queen of England, Scotland, and Ireland, co-reigning with her husband, King William III & II, from 1689 until her death. Popular histories usually refer to their joint reign as that of William and Mary.

Although their father James, Duke of York, was Roman Catholic, Mary and her sister Anne were raised as Anglicans at the wishes of their uncle, King Charles II. He lacked legitimate children, making Mary second in the line of succession as James’s eldest child. She married her Protestant first cousin, William of Orange, in 1677. Charles died in 1685 and James took the throne, making Mary heir presumptive. James’s attempts at rule by decree and the birth of his son, James Francis Edward Stuart, led to his deposition in the Glorious Revolution and the adoption of the English Bill of Rights.

William and Mary became king and queen regnant. She wielded less power than him when he was in England, ceding most of her authority to him, though he heavily relied on her. She did, however, act alone when William was engaged in military campaigns abroad, proving herself to be a powerful, firm, and effective ruler. Her death left William as sole ruler until his own death in 1702, when he was succeeded by Mary’s sister Anne.

An essay on the memory of the late Queen by Gilbert, Bishop of Sarum.

Dublin : Reprinted by Jos. Ray for Will. Norman, El. Dobson, and Pat. Campbel .., 1695. $1,100

Quarto 7 ½ x 6 inches. Π2, B-K2. Disbound pamphlet.

Wing (2nd ed.), B5785:: ESTC R37518

Copies – Brit.Isles Cashel Cathedral Library Derry and Raphoe Diocesan Library Dublin Honourable Society of King’s Inn Marsh’s Library Trinity College Library Copies – N.America Boston Public, Main Yale University, Beinecke Rare Book

Along with this I am offering a Poem by an Irish Author on a Queen Mary II.

343Jb. William Congreve.

The Mourning Muse of Alexis. A Pastoral. Lamenting the Death of our late Gracious Queen Mary.

London: for Jacob Tonson, 1695. $1,100 (for both)

Folio 12 x 7 ½ inches. A-C2 Disbound Wing C-5860

During the 1690’s there wasn’t much output from the Irish press concerning foreign affairs, the exception to this is the two pamphlets on the Death of Mary II from small pox. Both lament the passing of a Queen loved by the Irish.

Congreve was educated at Kilkenny College, where he met Jonathan Swift, and at Trinity College in Dublin. He moved to London to study law at the Middle Temple, but preferred literature, drama, and the fashionable life. Congreve used the pseudonym Cleophil, under which he published Incognita: or, Love and Duty reconcil’d in 1692. This early work, written when he was about 17 years of age, gained him recognition among men of letters and an entrance into the literary world. He became a disciple of John Dryden whom he met through gatherings of literary circles held at Will’s Coffeehouse in the Covent Garden district of London. Dryden supported him throughout his life, often composing complimentary introductions for his publications.

Very little is known of William Hamilton one of the more than 15 children of Rev. James Hamilton and his wife, Catherine (Leslie) Hamilton. It is believed he died in 1729, without descendants, possibly a soldier fighting on the Continent during one of the many local wars in what is now Germany He was buried in St. John’s Church, Dublin, and his funeral sermon was preached by the Bishop of Killaloe (Edward Wetehall), who uses these remarkable words in his preface to the sermon: ‘I am truly of opinion that in the best age of the church, had he lived therein, he would have passed for a Saint.’ His life was written by the Archdeacon of Armagh (William Hamilton), who fully bears out this encomium. Archdeacon Hamilton has wisely fortified himself by attaching to his ‘Life’ letters from several bishops who fully endorse all that he has written, and there does not appear to be a hint from any other source which would lead us to doubt the truthfulness of the account. Bonnell’s piety was of the strictly church of England type, though he was tolerant of those who differed from him. During; the greater part of his life he attended church twice every day, and made a point of communicating every Lord’s day. He was a careful observer of all the festivals and fasts of the church, and made it a rule to repeat on his knees every Friday the fifty-first Psalm. He took a deep interest both in the ‘religious societies’ and the ‘societies for the reformation of manners,’ which form so interesting a feature in the church history of his day. Of the former, which flourished greatly at Dublin, we are told that ‘he pleaded their cause, wrote in their defence, and was one of their most diligent and prudent directors;’ of the latter ‘he was a zealous promoter, was always present at their meetings, and contributed liberally to their expenses.’ He gave one-eighth of his income to the poor, and his probity was so highly esteemed that the fortunes of many orphans were committed to his care. Bonnell was a man of great and varied accomplishments. ‘He understood French perfectly, and had made great progress in Hebrew, while in philosophy and oratory he exceeded most of his contemporaries in the university, and he applied himself with success to mathematics and music.’ Divinity was, however, of course his favourite study. He was a great reader of the early fathers, and translated some parts of Synesius into English. He also reformed and improved for his own use a harmony of the Gospels. His favourite writers were Richard Hooker and Thomas à Kempis. Many of his ‘Meditations’ (a vast number of which, on a great variety of subjects, are still extant) remind one slightly of the latter author.

344J. Joseph Trapp 1679-1747

A sermon preach’d at Christ-Church, Dublin, before their excellencies the Lords Justices of Ireland; on Tuesday May the 29th. Dublin

Dublin: Printed by A.R. [i.e., Aaron Rhames] for J. Hyde, 1711.

Quarto 7 ½ X 6 inches. A2, B-D4. Disbound.

In January 1711 Sir Constantine Phipps, the Lord Chancellor of Ireland. Whose term of office was marked by bitter political faction-fighting and he faced repeated calls for his removal. Trapp was taken on as as his chaplain, and Trapp wrote partisan political pieces, incurring scorn from Swift. He married in 1712 a daughter of Alderman White of St. Mary’s, Oxford, and resigned as a Fellow of Wadham. That year he was chaplain to Henry St John, 1st Viscount Bolingbroke, a place Swift claimed he had arranged. On 1 April 1713 Swift would not dine with Bolingbroke because he was expected to ‘look over a dull poem’ of Trapp’s; afterwards he did correct the poem, printed anonymously at Dublin, as Peace, a Poem. It was set to music by William Croft.

After reading this sermon it is obvious that Trapp missed his calling as a Puritan Hell and Dmanation Presacher. “ Can we be called the City of Righteousness, when all sorts of Debauchery and Profaneness have, like the Deluge, overspread these Nation? When there are so many, whoeven Glory in their Shame, make a Science of Leudeness, and are not only Workers, but Professors of Iniquity?” Fun reading indeed.

As with many 17th century tracts the title pretty much says it all. But to put it in perspective.

The convocation of the English Church in 1711 decided that by the opportunity by Royal License and permission to frame their canons and declarations which could eventual become law. It was true that the Irish Church was Weak not altogether by its own fault, If the Church of England was strong. The English Church had had the opportunity of expressing, whatever value it might have, its concurrence with that measure. The Irish Church appealed to them for the same permission. There was in Ireland as in England a Convocation, which had been in abeyance for many years as that of England had been for about the same period. Called by Royal writ—it dated as far back as Parliamentary Government in Ireland; that from 1625 to 1711 it was repeatedly so summoned; that at its last period of meeting, in 1711, it passed five canons, which, having received the assent of Her Majesty Queen Anne, became part and continued part of the ecclesiastical law of Ireland.

Dublin : printed by Isaac Jackson, in Meath-Street, [1739]. $ 3,800

Octavo 7 3/4 x 5 inches First and only English edition. Bound in Original sheep, with a quite primitive repair to the front board.

Fenélon’s text appears to consist largely of extracts from ’Les oeuvres spirituelles’. The preface, account of Jeanne Marie Guyon etc. is compiled by Josiah Martin. The text of the letters, and poems, is in French and English. This is an Astonishing collection of letters and poems.

“MARTIN, JOSIAH (1683–1747), quaker, was born near London in 1683. He became a good classical scholar, and is spoken of by Gough, the translator of Madame Guyon’s Life, 1772, as a man whose memory is esteemed for ‘learning, humility, and fervent piety.’ He died unmarried, 18 Dec. 1747, in the parish of St. Andrew’s, Holborn, and was buried in the Friends’ burial-ground, Bunhill Fields. He left the proceeds of his library of four thousand volumes to be divided among nephews and nieces. Joseph Besse [q. v.] was his executor.

Martin’s name is best known in connection with ‘A Letter from one of the People called Quakers to Francis de Voltaire, occasioned by his Remarks on that People in his Letters concerning the English Nation,’ London, 1741. It was twice reprinted, London and Dublin, and translated into French. It is a temperate and scholarly treatise, and was in much favour at the time.

Of his other works the chief are: 1. ‘A Vindication of Women’s Preaching, as well from Holy Scripture and Antient Writings as from the Paraphrase and Notes of the Judicious John Locke, wherein the Observations of B[enjamin] C[oole] on the said Paraphrase . . . and the Arguments in his Book entitled “Reflections,” &c, are fullv considered,’ London, 1717. 2. ‘The Great Case of Tithes truly stated … by Anthony Pearson [q. v.] . . . to which is added a Defence of some other Principles held by the People call’d Quakers . . .,’ London, 1730. 3. ‘A Letter concerning the Origin, Reason, and Foundation of the Law of Tithes in England,’ 1732. He also edited, with an ‘Apologetic Preface,’ comprising more than half the book, and containing many additional letters from Fénelon and Madame Guyon, ‘The Archbishop of Cambray’s Dissertation on Pure Love, with an Account of the Life and Writings of the Lady for whose sake he was banish’d from Court,’ London, 1735.

C. F. S.

Fénelon was nominated in February, 1696, Fénelon was consecrated in August of the same year by Bossuet in the chapel of Saint-Cyr. The future of the young prelate looked brilliant, when he fell into deep disgrace.

The cause of Fénelon’s trouble was his connection with Madame Guyon, whom he had met in the society of his friends, the Beauvilliers and the Chevreuses. She was a native of Orléans, which she left when about twenty-eight years old, a widowed mother of three children, to carry on a sort of apostolate of mysticism, under the direction of Père Lacombe, a Barnabite. After many journeys to Geneva, and through Provence and Italy, she set forth her ideas in two works, “Le moyen court et facile de faire oraison” and “Les torrents spirituels”. In exaggerated language characteristic of her visionary mind, she presented a system too evidently founded on the Quietism of Molinos, that had just been condemned by Innocent XI in 1687. There were, however, great divergencies between the two systems. Whereas Molinos made man’s earthly perfection consist in a state of uninterrupted contemplation and love, which would dispense the soul from all active virtue and reduce it to absolute inaction, Madame Guyon rejected with horror the dangerous conclusions of Molinos as to the cessation of the necessity of offering positive resistance to temptation. Indeed, in all her relations with Père Lacombe, as well as with Fénelon, her virtuous life was never called in doubt. Soon after her arrival in Paris she became acquainted with many pious persons of the court and in the city, among them Madame de Maintenon and the Ducs de Beauvilliers and Chevreuse, who introduced her to Fénelon. In turn, he was attracted by her piety, her lofty spirituality, the charm of her personality, and of her books. It was not long, however, before the Bishop of Chartres, in whose diocese Saint-Cyr was, began to unsettle the mind of Madame de Maintenon by questioning the orthodoxy of Madame Guyon’s theories. The latter, thereupon, begged to have her works submitted to an ecclesiastical commission composed of Bossuet, de Noailles, who was then Bishop of Châlons, later Archbishop of Paris, and M. Tronson; superior of-Saint-Sulpice. After an examination which lasted six months, the commission delivered its verdict in thirty-four articles known as the “Articles d’ Issy”, from the place near Paris where the commission sat. These articles, which were signed by Fénelon and the Bishop of Chartres, also by the members of the commission, condemned very briefly Madame Guyon’s ideas, and gave a short exposition of the Catholic teaching on prayer. Madame Guyon submitted to the condemnation, but her teaching spread in England, and Protestants, who have had her books reprinted have always expressed sympathy with her views. Cowper translated some of her hymns into English verse; and her autobiography was translated into English by Thomas Digby (London, 1805) and Thomas Upam (New York, 1848). Her books have been long forgotten in France.

Jeanne Marie Guyon

b. 1648, Montargis, France; d. 1717, Blois, France

A Christian mystic and prolific writer, Jeanne-Marie Guyon advocated a form of spirituality that led to conflict with authorities and incarceration. She was raised in a convent, then married off to a wealthy older man at the age of sixteen. When her husband died in 1676, she embarked on an evangelical mission to convert Protestants to her brand of spirituality, a mild form of quietism, which propounded the notion that through complete passivity (quiet) of the soul, one could become an agent of the divine. Guyon traveled to Geneva, Turin, and Grenoble with her mentor, Friar François Lacombe, at the same time producing several manuscripts: Les torrents spirituels (Spiritual Torrents); an 8,000-page commentary on the Bible; and her most important work, the Moyen court et très facile de faire oraison (The Short and Very Easy Method of Prayer, 1685). Her activities aroused suspicion; she was arrested in 1688 and committed to the convent of the Visitation in Paris, where she began writing an autobiography. Released within a few months, she continued proselytizing, meanwhile attracting several male disciples. In 1695, the Catholic church declared quietism heretical, and Guyon was locked up in the Bastille until 1703. Upon her release, she retired to her son’s estate in Blois. Her writings were published in forty-five volumes from 1712 to 1720.

Her writings began to be published in Holland in 1704, and brought her new admirers. Englishmen and Germans–among them Wettstein and Lord Forbes–visited her at Blois. Through them Madame Guyon’s doctrines became known among Protestants and in that soil took vigorous root. But she did not live to see this unlooked-for diffusion of her writings. She passed away at Blois, at the age of sixty-eight, protesting in her will that she died submissive to the Catholic Church, from which she had never had any intention of separating herself. Her doctrines, like her life, have nevertheless given rise to the widest divergences of opinion. Her published works (the “Moyen court” and the “Règles des assocées à l’Enfance de Jésus”) having been placed on the Index in 1688, and Fénelon’s “Maximes des saints” branded with the condemnation of both the pope and the bishops of France, the Church has thus plainly reprobated Madame Guyon’s doctrines, a reprobation which the extravagance of her language would in itself sufficiently justify. Her strange conduct brought upon her severe censures, in which she could see only manifestations of spite. Evidently, she too often fell short of due reserve and prudence; but after all that can be said in this sense, it must be acknowledged that her morality appears to have given no grounds for serious reproach. Bossuet, who was never indulgent in her regard, could say before the full assembly of the French clergy: “As to the abominations which have been held to be the result of her principles, there was never any question of the horror she testified for them.” It is remarkable, too, that her disciples at the Court of Louis XIV were always persons of great piety and of exemplary life.

On the other hand, Madame Guyon’s warmest partisans after her death were to be found among the Protestants. It was a Dutch Protestant, the pastor Poiret, who began the publication of her works; a Vaudois pietist pastor, Duthoit-Mambrini, continued it. Her “Life” was translated into English and German, and her ideas, long since forgotten in France, have for generations been in favour in Germany, Switzerland, England, and among Methodists in America. ”

Quibi Is Coming. Here Are the Famous People Making Shows for It.

Quibi, set to launch on April 6, stands for “quick bites,” which refers to the service’s plan to offer short segments (10 minutes or less) designed for small screens (your phone).But little else about this short-form venture is bite-size. In its first year, the company’s partners (the chairman Jeffrey Katzenberg and the C.E.O. Meg Whitman) are spending more than a billion dollars on content acquisition alone. That’s partly because everyone in Hollywood seems to be doing a Quibi show, including heavy-hitters like Steven Spielberg, Guillermo del Toro, Kevin Hart and Jennifer Lopez.The company has been rolling out promotional announcements and previews all over — including on Twitter, in industry trade publications, at the Sundance Film Festival, and on a screen during a keynote presentation at CES in Las Vegas last month.On Friday, Quibi released its launch lineup, a total of 50 shows that includes Liam Hemsworth’s “Most Dangerous Game,” Queen Latifah’s “When the Streetlights Go On” and Chrissy Teigen’s “Chrissy’s Court.”But this is just a fraction of what Quibi says it will release in its first year. During that time, it plans to put out about 8,500 “quick bites of content” and around 175 new shows — 35 of these shows are “movies in chapters”; 120 are unscripted reality shows or documentaries; and the rest are news and lifestyle pieces, or what they call “daily essentials.”Will all of these shows actually end up happening? Will any of them be any good? Will anyone pony up $4.99 a month (or $7.99 without ads) to watch Quibi?Nobody knows! But at least Quibi has an impressive list of boldface names to tout to investors and potential viewers. Here’s who we know about for now, in alphabetical order. (Others involved in Quibi shows are denoted in bold.)Alexandre Aja: The director is developing a live-action adaptation of the horror manga “Tomie.”Stephen and Robbie Amell: The two actors (and cousins) are doing a spinoff of “Code 8,” their crowdsourced sci-fi thriller about oppressed super-people. The original film’s director, Jeff Chan, will be the showrunner.Eric Andre: He’s expanding his Adult Swim talk show sketch, “Rapper Warrior Ninja,” in which rappers must overcome weird obstacles while freestyling.Will Arnett: Arnett is a Quibi triple-threat. He’s hosting a show called “Memory Hole,” which examines so-called underdiscussed subjects (such as Canada); and he’ll be producing the animated series “Your Daily Horoscope” and a daily late-show recapper, “Late Night This Morning.”Ayo & Teo: The duo behind the viral dance challenge “Rolex” will be hosting “The Sauce,” a cross-country dance-competition series. (Usher is judging and executive producing.)Tyra Banks: She’s starring in and executive producing a docuseries called “Beauty,” which examines standards of beauty around the world and the ways in which they’ve developed.Chancelor “Chance the Rapper” Bennett: He’s taking over Ashton Kutcher’s role in yet another “Punk’d” revival, which will continue to be devoted to pranking unsuspecting celebs.Jason Blum: The Blumhouse impresario executive produced “Wolves and Villagers,” a “Fatal Attraction”-like story starring Naomi Watts.Joel Kim Booster: He’s co-hosting (with Keke Palmer) the rebooted “Singled Out,” which has been redesigned for all genders and sexual orientations across 20 episodes.

LENOX, MA (May 15, 2018) – WAM Theatre is delighted to announce that tickets are now on sale for their fall main stage production of Ann by Holland Taylor, starring Jayne Atkinson (TV’s House of Cards, Madam Secretary), and directed by WAM’s Artistic Director, Kristen van Ginhoven. Tickets were originally slated to go on sale mid-summer, but due to anticipated demand for this limited engagement, WAM has decided to open up sales now.

A one woman tour-de-force, Ann is a hilarious and spirited portrait of Ann Richards, legendary Governor of Texas. Written by award-winning actress and writer Holland Taylor (Two and a Half Men), Ann is an inspiring play that brings us face to face with the complex, colorful, and captivating character, with a personality bigger than the state she governed. In a year when so many women are running for office across all platforms, this play resonates deeply with our current climate.

Ann is a co-production with Dorset Theatre Festival, where the play will be performed from August 29-September 1, 2018. WAM will present Ann in the Berkshires from October 19-28 at the Tina Packer Playhouse at Shakespeare & Company in Lenox, MA. Tickets for the limited engagement in Dorset are going fast, and when they’re gone they will refer eager ticket-buyers to WAM’s seven-performance run in the Berkshires. Consequently, WAM is opening ticket sales earlier than ever.

Playwright Holland Taylor.

The late Ann Richards, Governor of Texas from 1991-1995

“Kristen van Ginhoven and WAM have long inspired me personally for the amazing work they do on behalf of women,” shared Dina Janis, Artistic Director of Dorset Theatre Festival. “With the Festival’s commitment to gender equity in theatre and to women’s voices in particular, this project seemed like a perfect opportunity for collaboration between our theaters. Jayne Atkinson is arguably one of our nations finest actors, and a play written by the terrific Holland Taylor that celebrates one of my favorite political rock stars – Ann Richards – feels like a true celebration of all that is possible.”

ABOUT THE PLAYWRIGHT: Holland Taylor

Holland Taylor took Broadway by storm as writer and star of Ann, a one-woman show about the late Texas Governor Ann Richards, which resulted in rave reviews, a Tony Award nomination for Best Actress, and a filmed version of the 2016 production in which Holland starred at ZACH Theatre in Austin, Texas, bringing Governor Richards back home. The New Yorker has called Holland Taylor “the first vaudeville Gentile we ever saw.” Her New York stage performances include Bess in Breakfast with Les and Bess, as well as the original productions of Butley, opposite Alan Bates, and A.R. Gurney’s The Cocktail Hour. She still holds her head high after taking over for Eve Arden, opening the historic flop Moose Murders.

Wow, today I had the most amazing experience exploring @thehuntingtonlibrary botanical gardens! Nothing could have been better spent than eating vegan dumplings, soaking up waterfalls, watching ducks and koi fish swim in the lakes, and eyeing the most beautiful flowers! 🌵🌊🦆🎋🌸🌳☀️ In addition, I was tagged by the lovely Linda of @snowflakesandstrawberries to share ten personal facts about myself! While I might have done something similar like this in the past, I absolutely love answering tags, plus there is always something new to share about my complex self! 🤷🏻‍♀️ I tagged a few other beauties in the photo of my vegan dumplings above, so here we go! 💖✨ 1. The only movies I've ever genuinely cried during were Edward Scissorhands and Okja. ✂️🌿😭 2. I used to be so obsessed with the color pink that I'd throw a tantrum if I didn't get to wear a pink costume during my dance recitals. 💗💃🏻 3. My eye makeup style has stayed the same for almost five years. 👁👀 4. Chopsticks are my favorite utensil. 🍜 5. Sushi, Brussel sprouts, and eggplant: I used to hate it but now I love it. 🍱🍆 6. Meeting leaders of inspiring organizations excites me more than meeting celebrities.👩🏻‍⚕️👩🏻‍💼👩🏻‍🏫 7. No matter how hard I try, I cannot get myself to enjoy shopping for clothes. 👗👖😴 8. If I could play a book character in a film adaptation, it would be Linh Cinder from The Lunar Chronicles or Catherine Pinkerton from Heartless. 👠🔧👑🍰♥️ 9. Bats, pigs, and squirrels freak me out! 🦇🐷🐿😰 10. When I was nine years-old, people thought I would grow up to become a famous sketch artist. ✏️🖼 #superfitbabe #health #diet #rawtill4 #bestlifeproject #pegan #nutrition #plantbased #vegan #glutenfree #thehuntingtonlibrary #wslf (at The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens)

“They were out of roses, so I got you tulips. Because I love your two lips.” + @henrik

“Oh my God.” Catherine gargalhou, se virando para encarar o garoto parado na porta de seu quarto. Normalmente ela teria mandado ele entrar logo e fechar a porta, mas o Valentine’s Day mexia, de forma inexplicável, com ela e a deixava de muito bom humor. Bom humor que a fez correr até a porta e jogar seus braços ao redor do pescoço dele, um resquício da risada ainda presente nos lábios. “You’re the worst joker ever. You know it, right?” Balançou a cabeça negativamente, se soltando e tomando o buquê das mãos dele. “But, they’re are beautiful. Thank you, Henry.” O apelido escapou fácil, e enquanto ia até a penteadeira colocar as flores no vaso se viu lembrando dos primeiros feriados que passaram juntos, quando eram apenas dois pré-adolescentes com medo de serem rejeitados por um crush real. “Agora, você tem duas opções. Podemos fazer uma maratona Nicholas Sparks,” Começou, um olhar divertido sendo direcionado ao Van Helsing. Já podia sentir ele reclamando. “ou terminar Spinning Out, já que você pegou no sono semana passada, hum?” Quem não os conhecesse observaria a cena com certo encantamento. Tudo parecia extremamente natural entre eles, os gestos, como falavam, como se portavam. Como se se conhecessem a vida toda, o que era quase verdade. “Eu só vou colocar meu pijama e-” A frase morreu no meio quando o garoto surgiu por trás e passou os braços por sua cintura, apoiando o queixo em seu ombro. A Huntington respirou fundo, segurando as mãos dele com força, quase como se pedisse para ele não a soltar, em hipótese alguma. “Or you can chose this time.” Sussurrou, encostando suas cabeças e aproveitando aqueles segundos. Sozinhos, juntos. Como Catherine desejava que pudessem ser assim o tempo todo, e como sonhava que pudesse realizar tal desejo sem que causasse tantos problemas. Se jogaram na poltrona mais próxima, ela no seu colo, afundando os dedos nos cachos que ele parecia nunca pentear. “Do you really love my two lips?” Trouxe de volta a piada, roçando seus lábios. Se lembrava de como tinha dito, semana passada, que seria a última vez, mas era impossível. Nunca seria a última vez, não entre eles. E, num suspiro de resignação ou talvez de contentamento misturado com uma risada estranha, a loira o beijou.

A Henrik and Catherine alternative universe short story.

Uma gargalhada irrompeu dos lábios de Catherine, conforme ela segurava a longa e volumosa saia de seu vestido e tentava correr atrás de Henrik. Os últimos raios de sol do verão acariciavam a pele alva, que em breve completaria dezoito anos, e pareciam brilhar somente para que os dois pudessem andar sem desconforto pelo jardim.

“Tell me, Mr. Van Helsing, do you already have my birthday gift?”

A loira perguntou, parando ao lado dele e sendo puxada em direção a grama recém cortada, acabando deitada lado a lado, seus narizes a centímetros de distância. Aquilo não era apropriado, e se sua mãe visse estaria condenada; mas não se importou, até mesmo ousando levar sua destra aos fios escuros rebeldes. Uma surpresa, oh, Catherine as odiava profundamente. E, enquanto deixava que ele acariciasse seus fios e a lesse uma poesia qualquer recém publicada na França, se pegou pensando em qual seria a surpresa. Um de seus primeiros pensamentos foi o de um anel, um sorriso contido aparecendo em seu rosto.

Será? Ela ouvia o que os mais velhos falavam, não era besta, e sabia que com suas idades próximas o casamento deles seria ideal. Papai não iria se opor, os Van Helsing eram importantes na Inglaterra e ainda mais poderosos na Alemanha, seria um verdadeiro sonho. E ela não se incomodava em se imaginar unida a Henry, principalmente se continuassem como eram. Talvez, no entanto, tivesse que aprofundar seus estudos em alemão. “If I ever go to Germany, will you show me around? Better, will you show me your enormous library? The one you talk so much about.” A tarde continuou, com mais poesias em francês, promessas de visitas em todos os principais pontos alemães e mais risadas. A loira decidiu, mais tarde, já em seu quarto enquanto se preparava para dormir, que ficaria perfeitamente feliz se seu pai desse sua mão à Henrik.

Duas semanas mais tarde, suas carruagens seguiam lado a lado até o Palácio. O rei oferecia um baile, e era sempre uma honra ser convidado. Henry fez questão de a ajudar a descer, sempre tão cavalheiro e atencioso, e quando lhe ofereceu seu braço, para entrarem, aceitou de bom grado.

A primeira dança sempre era dele. Desde que foram permitidos a dançar nos bailes. E foi a primeira vez que foi diferente. James, príncipe herdeiro, requisitou sua primeira dança. Se sentiu lisonjeada, ainda que seu coração tenha apertado quando soltou as mãos de Henrik e as deus para James. Mas, os dois se davam bem - arriscaria os chamar de amigos - e certamente nenhum tomaria ofensa.

Tudo ocorria bem, entre seus giros e passos elaborados, palavras afáveis eram ditas, das quais a menina respondia com um sorriso radiante. Era motivo de inveja para todas as outras garotas no salão e estava gostando disso, até que foi pega de surpresa. “I will ask your hand in marriage to your father, Lady Catherine.” Os olhos azuis, desesperados, cruzaram o salão do baile, procurando pelos verdes, que pelo visto ficaram presos em si por toda a música. Me salve, pensou, e, como se pudessem ler as mentes um do outro, o Van Helsing a atingiu em tempo recorde.

Os homens apertaram as mãos, mas a livre do amigo rapidamente envolveu a sua, em seguida a puxando para a próxima dança. “Tell me, dear Cat, what has happened?”

A doçura de sua voz fez seus olhos lacrimejarem. Deveria estar feliz? Talvez, porém não estava.

“Take me to Germany, Henry. And never let me come back.”

O acordo estava selado, o noivado anunciado e agora Catherine ostentava um anel incômodo e pesado em seu dedo. Deveria estar feliz, mas não conseguia. Henrik invadiu seu quarto, sem bater na porta, sozinho. E ela quase gritou com o susto, seus olhos arregalados. Se o pegassem, sozinhos, estaria arruinada e nem um perdão real a salvaria do ostracismo. O encarou, se perguntando como ele havia conseguido chegar até ali sem ninguém o ver ou o impedir. Ele deu de ombros, sempre entendendo o significado exato de seus olhares.

“You don’t have to do it.”

“Yes, I do.”

“Cat, you don’t. Do you even love him?”

“I can’t do anything about it.”

“Marry me instead.”

“You’re crazy! That would never be possible. Don’t you see? Dad and His Majesty made a deal, my whole family would be hanged if I broke it. I don’t have a option.”

“Run away with me. I would never let anyone touch you, never.”

A devoção com a qual as palavras foram ditas fez Catherine acreditar nelas cegamente. Seus lábios se abriram, prontos para dizer que, sim, ela fugiria com ele. Iria até as profundezas do inferno se ele segurasse sua mão e a olha com tanta paixão, da forma que fazia agora. Mas sabia, em âmago, que mal chegariam aos portões.

“I can’t, Henry.”

Ele já esperava aquela resposta, mas isso não o impediu de invadir a distância considerável que havia entre eles e a beijar. Seus lábios se encontraram com tanta força que sentiu dor, mas não podia se importar menos. Algum dia aquilo voltaria a acontecer? Torcia para que sim.

Podia sentir seu rosto ficando molhado com as lágrimas, que sua mãe tinha dito precisamente para que não derramasse, conforme caminhava pela Abadia, em direção ao altar. O moreno se encontrava lá, passos atrás de seu noivo, e sustentou seu olhar. Eram as pessoas mais miseráveis do mundo no momento, mesmo que parecessem cercados por tudo.

“I, Catherine Huntington, take you…”

Sua voz travou, enquanto azul e verde pareciam se perder um no outro. Como queria poder pronunciar ‘Henrik Van Helsing’.

“James Vanderbilt, as my husband. [...] till death do us apart.”

Estava selado perante a Deus, a promessa que fazia ela dele, o homem que mal conseguia olhar nos olhos.

Talvez ambos tivessem pensado que tal espécie de tortura estava acabada, mas ela pareceu piorar quando o príncipe elegeu Henrik como testemunha para a consumação do casamento. Catherine parecia estar prestes a ter uma crise de choro, seu rosto vermelho, os olhos úmidos e seus lábios tremendo. Já o Van Helsing permaneceu impassível.

A cada amarra desfeita do vestido um soluço ecoava pelos aposentos reais. Nem tentava mais esconder sua tristeza. Não atrevia direcionar sua visão para a parede a sua esquerda, não quando sabia que ele assistia a tudo, quando sabia que ele não podia fazer nada.

A loira não emitiu nenhum som enquanto ele possuía o que era dele por direito, mas não por devoção. Queria gritar, queria fugir, queria chorar, queria morrer. A dor que ele a causava não era tão grande quanto a que tomava seu coração. E, por toda a noite, Catherine desejou que fosse Henrik que desbravava cada centímetro de sua pele pela primeira vez.

Rainha. Odiava o título, odiava sua coroa, odiava seu trono. Mas era o que era agora. Nem três meses após o casamento e seu sogro fora encontrado morto. E, enquanto nos dias arrastados que se passaram, os amantes foram apenas capazes de toques furtivos, encontros rápidos de seus lábios e longos olhares melancólicos. Ele tinha continuado no castelo a pedido de James, convidado a fazer parte de alguma sociedade para qual não dava a mínima, e, num dia onde seu marido desapareceu, foi a sua vez de invadir o quarto sem antes bater.

Ninguém ia contra ordens da Rainha, então ninguém apareceria por ali. Seu coração batia desesperadamente, enquanto o encarava, parado do outro lado do quarto. O ar parecia pesado como se todas as palavras não ditas pairassem entre eles, como se tudo o que sentiam os rodeasse. Como sempre entre eles, não houve a necessidade de falar qualquer coisa.

“My body, my heart, my soul. They’re yours, Henry. They will only ever be yours.”

Suspirou, tocando seu rosto com a mesma inocência que fizera naquela tarde, tempos atrás, quando achava que ele viria a ser seu marido.

“You’re condemning me to hell, Catherine, and I’m not regretting it.”

E então seus corpos se encaixaram, como se tivessem sido moldados para isso. Suas almas se tornaram uma por horas a fio. A maneira que deveria ser. Henrik reclamava cada área sua como dele, a levando do céu ao inferno em instantes. Seu coração parecia prestes a explodir. Isso era amor. Criado pelos céus. Enviado pelos céus.

O sangue que será derramado é inevitável, e ela sabe disso. Sabe que ele irá para o inferno e todo seu corpo exclama para que vá junto. Poderia pedir para que ele ficasse, mas já havia traído seu Rei uma vez (não uma, várias, mas Catherine não sabe a soma dos encontros de suas almas) e não o faria uma segunda vez.

“I will be praying for you.”

Sua voz sai baixa em meio ao labirinto. Eu te amo, é o que seus olhos transmitem. E ele entende e a responde. E quando seus lábios se encontram por uma última vez dessa vez não doí, e ela passa os dias seguintes guardando consigo a sensação de ter tocado o paraíso.

O sol brilhava, aquecendo sua pele como fez em momentos mais felizes, quando seus joelhos cedem e a levam ao chão. A sensação mais angustiante do mundo a possui, e ela passa as duas luas como se não tivesse mais alma. Porque não tem. Quando a confirmação vem é como se o inferno tivesse vindo à superfície, e todos ouvem os lamúrios da amante, que teve sua metade tomada.

Seus gritos afastam qualquer um que tente se aproximar e pouco a pouco o quarto, que nunca foi seu porque ele nunca repousou ali, está aos pedaços.

É tarde demais quando James aparece, as mãos finas e delicadas cravam a adaga num órgão que parece não existir mais, e ela nem ao menos sente dor. Não havia vida sem ele.

Não são professadas palavras alguma, nunca precisaram delas. Suas almas se juntam. Se não em vida, ao menos na morte.

❛ you were the only one i loved. ❜ @cat

Os olhos azuis de Catherine percorreram seu rosto, não duvidando em nada de suas palavras. Tudo de repente parecia simples. “And still love, right?” Queria pedir para que ele repetisse as três palavras repetidamente, a noite toda, a lembrando que tudo aquilo era real e não mais um sonho. Depois que ela apareceu em sua casa e revelou tudo o que vinha sentindo por tanto tempo os dois haviam se beijado como se pela primeira vez, como se nunca tivessem se tocado antes, e, ao contrário de como acontecia antes, não ouve qualquer dúvida ou ressentimento por trás de seus toques, pela primeira vez feitos em público, onde qualquer um pudesse ver. Cat e Henry, Catherine e Henrik, Huntington e Van Helsing. Era como devia ser, era o certo. Seu nariz fino roçou no dele levemente, enquanto entrelaçava seus dedos. Deitados na cama gigantesca do quarto de Henry, as cortinas se agitavam com a brisa da tarde e os fios loiros voavam, dando uma sensação ainda maior de paz. “I guess this is what I would describe as perfect.” Sussurrou, não ousando perturbar a atmosfera. “It feels so peaceful, just being with you, without having any worries.” Deixou que ele soltasse sua mão, para poder a puxar para ainda mais perto e suspirou, seu rosto repousando na curva do pescoço alheio. “Now we can go everywhere, now we can do whatever we want. We can finally just be ourselves. Be in love with each other. Kiss each other.” Seus lábios, pintados de rosa claro, encontraram a pele pálida dele, distribuindo beijos até sua clavícula, aonde se afastou por uns instantes para encarar seus olhos verdes. “Because, Henrik Van Helsing…” Um riso curto e brincalhão escapou, enquanto o fazia se deitar na cama e se colocava por cima dele. “Even though sometimes you’re unbearable…” Beijou a extensão de seu queijo. “I’m madly in love with you.” Riu de novo, distribuindo beijos por todo o seu rosto, antes de encostar suas testas e deixar que ele envolvesse sua cintura com força. “I love you.” Disse, contra os lábios dele. “And from now on I’m not gonna let a day go by without saying it.” Ainda existia certa culpa dentro de si, por ter causado uma situação que fez ele sofrer tanto e ela possivelmente passaria um bom tempo tentando de toda maneira o recompensar por tudo. “You know the best part of it all? That annoying Ophelia will finally leave us alone.” A Huntington brincou, antes de repousar sua cabeça contra o peito de Henrik. “Just kidding. The best part is that we’re gonna go to Harvard, like we always planned. Go to every single museum on campus and on Boston, go to that restaurant you like there.” Com os olhos fechados, imaginou como seria sua vida daqui dois meses. “And maybe you can even try to teach me how to drive. Again.” A risada de escárnio dele deixou claro que aquilo não era uma opção possível e ela deu um tapinha indolor em seu braço. “Ok, ok. I’m not gonna argue just because I really like seeing you drive.” Revirou os olhos, os abrindo só para poder o fazer. “Oh, and this lead me to a question: you’re gonna let me live all by myself at Boston or….?”

sinister kid: kendall ouvir de alguém para não se envolver com o axel pois vai se machucar

No auge de seus quinze anos, Catherine já entendia bastante das coisas, ao contrário do que seu pai costumava dizer. Sabia que o dinheiro na família não era limpo - não que se importasse -, sabia que definitivamente não era suficiente para o pai e também sabia que seu irmão era problema. E quando, no Baile Beneficente oferecido pelas mulheres do Clube, viu Axel próximo demais de uma Rockefeller de olhos brilhantes, decidiu intervir.

Não deveria, caso Axel apenas sonhasse que ela tinha se aproximado de sua mais nova presa faria questão de tornar sua vida um inferno, mais do que já o fazia, mas ela achava que talvez valesse a pena se salvasse pelo menos uma garota. “Kendall, hey. I’m Cate, Cate Huntington. Can I speak with you for a moment?” Um sorriso educado permaneceu no rosto da mais nova, enquanto ela se aproximava.

Kendall sabia quem se aproximava, obviamente. Apesar do que falavam, não era burra. Mas o porquê de Catherine Huntington estar indo falar com ela, quando possivelmente todas as mães proibiam suas filhas de o fazer, era desconhecido. Teria visto seu irmão e ela juntos? Talvez fosse uma irmã ciumenta, mas ela sabia lidar com isso melhor do que ninguém. “Uhum, I know. But, yeah, sure.” Catherine comprimiu os lábios, as mãos se enroscando em frente ao vestido cor creme, fazendo com que ela parecesse mais nova do que era. Kendall sempre tinha parecido mais velha, talvez por seu corpo - bem mais desenvolvido do que a da outra - ou talvez pelas suas atitudes e roupas, e era algo de que gostava e era algo que chamava atenção. “I saw my brother talking with you, and, hum.” As sobrancelhas da Rockefeller se arquearam, e um sorriso quase sarcástico apareceu em seu rosto. Se divertia com as tais damas da sociedade, principalmente com as wannabe. “Yes, Axel is pretty charming.”

A face de Cate se contorceu numa careta e Kendall mordeu a língua para não rir. Estava proibida de protagonizar escândalos e causar desconfortos, sob a pena de ter seu cartão cortado, e tratar mal a pequena princesa do Upper East Side com certeza estava incluso nisso. “That’s the problem. He’s charming. You shouldn’t fell for it. He’s trouble.” Dessa vez não aguentou e soltou uma risada, baixa para não chamar atenção, a olhando com pena. “Girl, do you honestly think I care?” Se tinha algo com que Kendall era acostumada essa coisa era problema. Se metia neles o tempo todo, e melhor, se metia com eles o tempo todo. Garotos bonzinhos não se arriscariam com ela, não que ela os quisesse. “Kendall, I’m trying to help you. Axel is only going to use you. He’s gonna fancy you, make you think he really likes you. He’s gonna make you fall in love with him, but he doesn’t love anyone besides himself. He’s cruel.” A Huntington falou, sua voz tão elegante que fez Kendall franzir o nariz. Tão nova e, pelo visto, a beira do desespero em sua tentativa de a ajudar e ainda assim conseguia soar sofisticada. “Oh, Catherine, please.” A mais velha revirou os olhos, a cabeça balançando negativamente com puro desdém. “He’s gonna take you to bed! And then he’s gonna leave you. Don’t be another fool for him.” Talvez a ação dela fosse louvável, mas para a Rockfeller era ridícula.

Catherine viu que Alexander tinha voltado ao salão, e ia em direção delas, então tentou se afastar, mas Kendall foi rápida em segurar seu braço. “Maybe, Cat, I want to do the same. Fuck him and then leave. And maybe I hope he thinks the same.” Sussurrou contra o ouvido dela. Nunca tinha tido paciência para ninguém a dizendo o que fazer. “You’re taking feminism way too seriously, don’t you think, honey?” Os olhos de quase assustados de Cate se tornaram frios e distantes no instante em que conseguiu se soltar, discretamente. “Well, then good luck, Kendall.” Com isso saiu em passos rápidos, se juntando com alguém que tinha certeza ser um dos filhos Van Helsing. Axel chegou ao seu lado instantes depois. “What was she saying to you?” A voz dele fez um sorriso malicioso aparecer em seus lábios, conforme se virava para ele de forma provocante. “Oh, she was just saying hi. Your sister is very lovely. But, tell me, how fast do you think we can leave this party?”
