A Narrow Table Fits Nicely Into This Windowed Bump-out. 

Vane & Eleanor Memory Week, Day 3 : Favourite Quote(s) Vane: “I remember the first time I saw you. You were about 13. You’d snuck down to the beach despite Mr Scott’s rules forbidding it. A girl, that age, looking like you did. And you just walked up and down between the camps, like you owned the place. Fearless. Then you saw me watching you and you didn’t look away. Didn’t cower. You just gave me this look, this little smile, that said you refused to be afraid of me.”

Eleanor: “What the fuck are you talking about?”

Vane: “I know you. Better than your father, better than Scott. Maybe better than anyone. You don’t give a shit about money or respect. Or the things you’ve built here. I think you’re just tired of fathers telling you what to do. And so I’m offering you a life free from them. With me in that fort, you do as you like. As long as it doesn’t cross me, you’ll hear no complaints.”

Eleanor: “You know I have no choice but to say yes. But before I do, know this: you’ll sit in that fort for a while. You’ll get comfortable. And that’s the day I’m gonna push you and your men right into the fucking sea.”

Vane: “God, I missed that look.”

Endings are…tremendously painful as they are beautiful. Endings are the beginning of a new dawn, as they are the last scene of a story. They represent a turn, a change, something brand new - As we transform, and we move forward - as we’re all meant to do. Endings are taught to be sad - and they can be. But endings can also signify triumph over catastrophe.

Why spend even one day searching for someone else when it could take a lifetime to find yourself?

King Amanullah Khan of Afghanistan (ruled 1919-1929) once gave a public speech in which he said “Islam did not require women to cover their bodies or wear any special kind of veil”. At the conclusion of the speech, to the amazement of those present, Queen Soraya tore off her veil in public.

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.
