#pas de trois

[princington]

...Rumi is hot and sweaty and sticky, anonymous in this crowd and the dark room, and the music courses through her, her body pressed between the two people she loves most in the world. This is what the Honmoon is made of; this love, this connection....

Thoughts on nicknaming Krauserennedy "Pas de Trois" (= a dance performed by three dancers)? For the sake of composition, Luis is bending his knees out of frame

Helena Kurcewiczóvna was born over three hundred years later in a country that wasn't much of a kingdom falling from grace as a republic desperately trying to regain its democracy. She lived in a completely different society where a woman's main goals weren't to keep her chastity and find a proper husband to be a good wife to. The steppe couldn't be further from her home when she walked on the streets of Warszawa. But some things stayed the same. And she still loved to dance.

Three dancers under music's orders stand held by the touch of silence for a moment posing. Now somewhere the flutes' sound lifts the enchantment. Easily unbound, they begin to move like plants and nod slowly, their three heads like blooms:  their tendril hands

describe the shapes of air. The slender feet on points of strength such as grass has, gently to divide the strength of stone, make them like gods miraculously borne: Sonia, Tania, Katia, svelte deities who sign to us and whom we may not greet.

Theirs is a craft of quiet, they are shades of an old time when you could hear, no riot intervening, intricate and frail rhyme and music; men had leisure to ornament, only for pure pleasure, their utensils and their life; to live an hour or make a knife intent on every jeweled space.

This is why they interlace their fragile hands and dance their pace of three before your ordinary face.
