“When the Phone didn’t ring, I knew it was you....<br /><br /><br />“When the Phone didn’t ring, I knew it was you.”<br /><br />“Tell him I was too fucking busy. Or vice versa.”<br /><br />“Brevity is the soul of lingerie.”<br /><br />“The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity.”<br /><br /><br /><br />“Four be the things I am wiser to know:<br />Idleness, sorrow, a friend, and a foe.<br />Four be the things I’d been better without:<br />Love, curiosity, freckles, and doubt.<br /><br />Three be the things I shall never attain:<br />Envy, content, and sufficient champagne.<br /><br />Three be the things I shall have till I die:<br />Laughter and hope and a sock in the eye.”<br /><br /><br />— Dorothy Parker / Inventory<br /> <br /><br /><br />Oh, I can smile for you, and tilt my head, <br />And drink your rushing words with eager lips, <br />And paint my mouth for you a fragrant red, <br />And trace your brows with tutored finger-tips. <br />When you rehearse your list of loves to me, <br />Oh, I can laugh and marvel, rapturous-eyed. <br />And you laugh back, nor can you ever see <br />The thousand little deaths my heart has died. <br />And you believe, so well I know my part, <br />That I am gay as morning, light as snow, <br />And all the straining things within my heart <br />You’ll never know. <br /><br />Oh, I can laugh and listen, when we meet, <br />And you bring tales of fresh adventurings, — <br />Of ladies delicately indiscreet, <br />Of lingering hands, and gently whispered things. <br />And you are pleased with me, and strive anew <br />To sing me sagas of your late delights. <br />Thus do you want me — marveling, gay, and true, <br />Nor do you see my staring eyes of nights. <br />And when, in search of novelty, you stray, <br />Oh, I can kiss you blithely as you go …. <br />And what goes on, my love, while you’re away, <br />You’ll never know.<br /><br /><br />-Dorothy Parker / A Certain Lady<br /><br /><br />[D.Parker was a Friend of Marilyn’s,lived nearby her in 1961]<br />.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1399282577773064439.post-83625725743246548072013-04-28T00:58:59.864+03:002013-04-28T00:58:59.864+03:00http://booksalon.tumblr.com/post/45229678731/over-...<br />http://booksalon.tumblr.com/post/45229678731/over-at-librarything-you-can-sort-through-262<br /><br />Over at LibraryThing, you can sort through 262 books in Monroe’s collection, which included no shortage of great literary works – everything from Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison, to Ulysses by James Joyce, to Crime And Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky and The Plays Of Anton Chekhov. Woody Guthrie’s Bound For Glory, a work that inspired Bob Dylan and other troubadours, shared shelf space with The Roots Of American Communism by Theodore Draper, still considered the definitive history of the American Communist Party. But alongside the heady texts of Freud, Proust and Bertrand Russell, there were the more quotidian texts that may … or may not …. reveal something about Monroe’s personal life: Pet Turtles by Julien Bronson, Sexual Impotence In The Male by Leonard Paul Wershub and, of course (like everyone else), Baby & Child Care by Dr. Benjamin Spock.<br /><br />.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1399282577773064439.post-65234059144122296132013-04-27T15:10:01.200+03:002013-04-27T15:10:01.200+03:00
