Jean Cocteau, in a letter to Jean Marais, September 9, 1939

[I am the happiest man in the world. Is there such a thing as happy people? As for us, not even the apocalypse can separate us. It is a great mystery. The day after that terrible date, I felt an astounding calm; it was the tremendous certainty of your heart and mine traveling and intertwining like waves. These were the waves of our love mingling and singing in the silence. Glory is nothing compared to love. Our glory is lov[ing] one another. “I am happy to love you”... This little phrase of yours is worth risking it all. Because of it, I can accept this tragedy and this darkness we are going through. I pity those who remain indifferent for they do not love with all their might.]

#Glory is nothing compared to love #our glory is loving one another

Multiple patterns... one mood. Keeping everything in the same spirit is the secret of a successful mix. Heading on rod-pocket curtains is separated and fluffed out for a pronounced three-dimensional effect. Design: Martha Baum and Sharon Marston.
