To be fair, to be sad…why, was she intelligent, too? And white she was, very white, and her painted mouth was purple in the dim light, and her eyes, which seemed set very wide apart, were cool, impersonal, sensible, and they were blazing blue. Even in that light they were blazing blue, like two spoonfuls of the Mediterranean in the early morning of a brilliant day. Michael Arlen, The Green Hat

In Aix, what’s remembered of Cezanne? A house to let (with studio) in a garden. (Meanwhile, ‘help yourself to these ripe figs, profitez… And if it doesn’t suit, we, Agence Sextus, Will find another just as good.’) The years are sewn together with thread of the same story; Beauty picked in a field, shaped, re-created, Sold and despatched to distant Municipality – But in the master’s town Merely an old waiter, crossly, ‘Of course I knew him, he was a dull silent fellow, Dead now.’
