Dreaming

 

Moravia, 1942, Jan Lukas

*

“All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.”
― Edgar Allan Poe 

 

“Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night.”
― Edgar Allan Poe

“I think we dream so we don’t have to be apart for so long. If we’re in each other’s dreams, we can be together all the time.”
― A.A. Milne

Scent of ...

 Apple Perfume, 1911, Charles Courtney Curran. American (1861 - 1942)
- Oil on Canvas - 

“A woman's perfume tells more about her than her handwriting. ”


― Christian Dior

*

” 女性の香りは、手書きの文字以上にその人を語る ”


ー クリスチャン・ディオール

*

“French women choose a scent when they’re girls and use it until they’re grandmothers. It becomes their trademark.
'Ah,' he murmurs in the dark theater, 'Giselle is here tonight!'

― Joan Crawford. 'My Way of Life'

”フランスの女性たちは子供の頃に「自分の香り」を選んで、おばあさんになるまでそれを使うの。それが彼女のトレード・マークになるのね。
男性は真っ暗な劇場の中で「おお、今夜ジゼルはこの劇場に来ている！」と呟くの。”

ージョーン・クロフォード

＊


ディオールの言葉を借りるなら、
くだものの香りは、何よりも、その果実の質を語っていると言えるだろう。


ジョーン・クロフォードはこれに続けて、「でもわたしは、女性は歳を重ねるごとに自分の香りを変えた方がいいと思うわ」と言っている。


女性はそれでよくても、果実の香りは、いつまでもわたしたちの子供の頃の記憶と同じであってほしいと願う・・・
