Book Corner – September 2020 (5) - The Pursuit of Love by Nancy Mitford

The Pursuit Of Love – Nancy Mitford

I am going through a phase of reading, often for the first time, novels from the mid-20th century by authors whose popularity has somewhat waned. This, her fifth novel, published in 1945, is the first of Mitford’s books I have read. I’m not sure what I was expecting but I rather enjoyed it.

It seems to me to work on two levels, a light, romantic comedy,…

intro post: cyprien sauveterre

Tangled legs and mangled dreams. That's how he used to wake up, hateful for the hangover but thankful for the warmth on those brisk Ishgardian nights.

This evening, the hanging vestiges of that familiar sensation - spiderweb wisps - of something warm and soft roams around his calves, jolting him upright.

"It has been too long" is where his humor prompts his mind to go, but he buries it with a deep inhale. Meditation is the way he chooses to center himself these days; though wholly tempting is it to drown in the drink or throw a night's earnings to the roulette tables at the nearest gambling parlor. Instead, he slowly focuses on his surroundings, breath gliding in an even cadence, air tightening his abdomen, awakening him to the present moment in calmness.

Still.

What the fuck is THAT?

"Oh," Cyprien comments lamely, lavender eyes blinking and finding the source of his discontent. Eto's tiger is making his rounds, weaving over and atop the troupes' sleep-paralyzed legs, butting them with his dewy black nose. The Elezen can not contain a small smile; he is such a big baby. They all were, in their own ways. Taunted creatures from all ends of the earth, brought together by the craving for belonging, camaraderie. A balm for their bruised hearts. Tantalus was their name. Their family. De Sauveterre was a vestige of a former life he'd long since severed, grinning as the blade brutely hacked off that tainted flesh.

Skeletal fingers sharply pat Whisper on his hindquarters as the beast sulks silently over to another sleeping circus member. Cyprien rises and goes about his stretches, then makes his way into the circus tent proper.

It is a harlequin ghost, an empty shell this early in the morning with moonlight still kissing the diamond-shape pattern on the canvas walls. The moon is milky on his own skin; he raises his hands, breathing steadily again to ignore the light marks on the undersides of his forearms. He covers them in makeup to omit the scarring, the ridges from past bouts, past drugs, past hindrances. He clenches his fists and makes for the center of the room - where his violet silk dangles. A lover's finger beckoning him to dance.

He gathers the tendrils of silk in both hands, winding the fabric swiftly around his forearms three times. With a hop and a firm tug downward, he pulls himself up off the floor, jerking firmly on the lengths of silk and swings both legs up and over her head, flipping into an upside-down split. In a whirl of purple, he twists at the hips and bends his knees, entwining the excess silk around his legs. Letting go of the silk in his hands he swings downward, dangling precariously by the fabric wound tightly around thick thighs.

His expression turns grave and his eyes dart fearfully at the silk tangled about her. He abruptly tosses his arms out at his sides as he screams silently, unintelligibly, thrashing against the bindings. He quickly seizes the tail of ribbons dangling beneath his head and tosses them violently and haphazardly around his torso and arms, ensnaring herself within the silken vines.

Halfway through reality and dream, misty morning crashing in as performance butts against nightmares still crawling through his mind.

Cyprien curls his head and knees into his chest, forming his body into a violet cocoon. The movement makes him rock languidly back and forth, but he twitches and jerks violently inside the purple embrace, suggesting that whatever transformation is occurring is not a gentle one. He then abruptly bursts forth, silks unraveling around his form as he plummets towards the ground. Just before he hits the floor, the silks snap tight, twisted securely around his calves and ankles. He brings his arms up over his head and clasps both ribbons, arching his back and tilting his head up, eyes ablaze with excitement.

This is the heat he lives for in his chest. The delicious thrill of being winded, being feareful of the plummeting darkness. Nearly crashing to his death, bashing his brains across the floor. But at the last moment...he saves himself.

He wonders if it will always be that way.
