blush, watercolour, paper, sky ♡

blush: which talent would you love to have?

ballet, i used to dance as a young girl, but gave it up and it is one of my greatest regrets. i admire the resilience of a ballerina, how they float like the delicate petals of the cherry blossom, angelic with dreams of tchaikovsky. my favorite ballerina is marie taglioni, and the ballets giselle (which is also my middle name), sleeping beauty, swan lake, les sylphides, and la sylphide are very dear to me. i adore the ballet blancs wholeheartedly.

watercolor: share one of your favorite paintings

i shall share two, as these are perhaps my favorites i have ever seen

‘confidence' by frederick stuart church and ‘the pas de quarte' by thomas hubert maguire - such pretty and dreamy scenes that fill my heart with softness ࿐ 🕊

paper: who are your favorite poets?

sappho, emily dickinson, sara teasdale, the brontë sisters, mary oliver, sylvia plath, william wordsworth, e.e. cummings, john keats, and truly anyone whose words speak the melody of my soul.

sky: name three things/activities that make you feel alive

singing, reading, dreaming ♡

“I will rerfrain from telling you to take the tragedies any more seriously than the comedies. In fact, one might argue that comedy must be deadly serious to the characters, or it is not funny for the audience.”
