August 15: looking at/speaking to the moon on

The beauty () and the beast's () fate are determined by , the goddess, represented by a white deer and hunting dogs, something the audience would have understood immediately when this film came out. From the very symbolic-heavy and beautifully moonlit La Belle et la Bête ( & , 1946).

Roma invece, tante volte sotterrata e disotterrata, continua nel suo solenne seppellimento. Non vi è cosa che non si inclini, che non ceda, che non si comprima e che non scavi la propria fossa.
– Jean Cocteau

'we're as unknown to ourselves as the bottom of the sea.'
'it must be a dream that one can live at ease in one's skin. in the end, everything is resolved...except the difficulty of being.' - jean cocteau
(this is my dilemma, eloquently distilled.)
i revere him so - in spite of his nonsensical love of la corrida.

: this is the face (interpreted as it is by a hand not quite as gifted as his) of a true polymath. jean cocteau (born in 1889) was a poet, artist, filmmaker, novelist, playwright & critic - &, yet, he still saw himself as 'un inconnu celebre'. 'i'm a famous unknown person', he said. he spent his 74 years on this marble slipping on a whim from one discipline to the next, all the while trying to discover himself. his conclusion? (cont.)

Today in Writing History July 5, 1889: Surrealist write and film maker, Jean Cocteau, was born. He was most famous for his films, particularly “Orpheus,” based on his screenplay, as wells as “Beauty and the Beast,” and “Blood of a Poet.” And he wrote the libretto for Stravinsky’s “Oedipus Rex.” However, he was also a great writer of fiction and poetry, too. His novel, “The White Book,” (1927) was a homoerotic, semi-biographical tale. He also wrote “Les Enfants Terribles” (1929). And he collaborated with Pablo Picasso and Erik Satie to produce the ballet, “Parade.”

We preferred Rome in the moonlight because at night you can see what a city is like.

Preferivamo la Roma al chiaro di luna perché di notte si vede come è fatta una città.
