Carmen (Stage) (1938). Everett Shinn (American, 1876-1953). Oil on canvas laid down on panel.

Shinn’s compositions and perspectives were varied, somewhat like Degas. Here, Carmen dances away from the other performers to what appears to be an outdoors stage. It is far from clear where the audience is located or, indeed, if there is an audience.

How To See Fairies. Charles Van Sandwyk. Vancouver: Fairy Press, [1992]. First edition, first printing. Original French flaps.

“So often when I sleep at night my dreams are overladen with vision of the fairy folk, led by a tiny maiden. They dance upon my furrowed brow till I have all but woken, and this is what they say to me, in words so softly spoken. ‘If you are up at the dead of night or just before the dawn, then you might see the fairy folk aplaying on the lawn.’”

“He still asks about you, you know.” She gets a pang of longing and hurt in her chest. “I know.” She whispers “Do you ever think about getting in contact again?” She’s silent for a moment. “I would love nothing more than to run to him.” She says, smiling, thinking back to him. “But so much happened. So much hurt. I was broken after it ended. I can’t risk having to say goodbye again, it destroyed me for a long time. So would I want to? I would love nothing more. Will I? No.”
