Hello Boys and Girls!
See how you beam of seeming white,
Is braided out of seven hued light,
Yet in those lucid globes no ray,
By any chance shall break astray,
Hark, how the rolling surge of sound,
Arches and spirals circling round,
Wakes the hush'd spirit through thine ear,
With music it is heaven to hear!
With that go fast into the night,
A moments haste, the slightest fright,
A curtain rises on the two,
She's dressed in pink,
He's dressed in blue.
With love at every corners turn,
Delight!
Good night!
True love doth burn!
Mademoiselle Angelique Du Parc is the object upon which the affections of Monsieur Armande Fleurant are fixed at
the present moment.
He met her, I believe, while she was attending school in the city last winter,
and what with accompanying her to matinees,
taking her to church
and lingering by her side in the parlor,
oftentimes in the evening,
with the gas turned low,
the heart of Monsieur Fleurant gradually was induced to throb
only for the pretty lass from Luxembourg.
She has been very gracious to him
during all the time that he has devoted himself to her,
and has seemed to like him so well that there is really no reason
for doubting that when the climax of the little drama is reached,
and the question asked, she will droop her eyelids,
crimson her cheeks with blushes and whisper "Yes!"
It seems I am busy working on projects that are destined to fly away, by that I mean, a piece be either for a special customer or a variety of publications, and while I am honored and beyond thrilled to be able to create these works for others, when I can create a little piece for my very own collection I am just tickled pink! This is such a piece, I have been trying to finish my Petit Theatre and it's tiny patrons for nearly 2 years now! I would work on it a bit, constructing a wooden shadow box, wallpapering it with 150 year old blue and grey striped silk, wiring it for electricity, weaving a miniscule chandelier, then it was back to "real" work! I smooshed together the teeny Mademoiselle's and Monsieur's, cooked them up and dressed them in my finest bits and scraps and was finally able to finish it up last month!
Note: My next post will be on July 13th, at which time I will share more exciting news!
Adieu, my Lovely Friends, until next we meet!
