The Green Gown - Thomas Edwin Mostyn

‘Bouquet with Peonies’ (circa 1640–86) by Jean Vauquer (1621–1686). Etching.

“In the distance, she beckons me with her blue silence. (She is my Wertherian Charlotte. My Lotte. Lottchen) Her mask perversely insures that she cannot speak. She is as wordless as [the rhinoceros]. She is even more mute than [the rhinoceros]. While the other masked figures in the front row are wearing the bauta, this blue woman wears the domino: an oval black mask kept in place by a button held between the teeth, an arrangement which rendered its wearer temporarily speechless. Her face becomes a single surreal eye and a huge open mouth, like a Francis Bacon silent scream”

(Carol Mavor on Pietro Longhi’s Exhibition of a Rhinoceros at Venice (1751), Blue Mythologies)

“You have to remember that I’ve been lonely for a long time. Loneliness is like ice. After you’ve been lonely long enough you don’t realize you’re cold, but you are … I don’t know, maybe at the center of me there’s some ice that never will melt, maybe it’s just been there too long. But you mustn’t worry. You didn’t put it there.”

— Larry McMurtry, from the novel The Last Picture Show (Dial Press, 1966)

"You might say a poem is a semicolon, a living semicolon, what connects the first line to the last, the act of keeping together whose nature is to fly apart. Between the first and last lines there exists—a poem—and if it were not for the poem that intervenes, the first and last lines of a poem would not speak to each other. 

Would not speak to each other. Because the lines of a poem are speaking to each other, not you to them or they to you."

—Mary Ruefle, from "On Beginnings" in Madness, Rack, and Honey (2012)
