{My Secret Garden}

No dainty rhymes or sentimental love verses for you, terrible year! 

Not you as some pale poetling, seated at a desk, lisping cadenzas 

piano; 

But as a strong man, erect, clothed in blue clothes, advancing, 

carrying a rifle on your shoulder,  With well-gristled body and sunburnt face and hands–with a knife in 

the belt at your side,  As I heard you shouting loud–your sonorous voice ringing across the 

continent; 

Your masculine voice, O year, as rising amid the great cities, 

Amid the men of Manhattan I saw you, as one of the workmen, the 

dwellers in Manhattan; 

Or with large steps crossing the prairies out of Illinois and 

Indiana,  Rapidly crossing the West with springy gait, and descending the 

Alleghanies; 

Or down from the great lakes, or in Pennsylvania, or on deck along 

the Ohio river; 

Or southward along the Tennessee or Cumberland rivers, or at 

Chattanooga on the mountain top, 

Saw I your gait and saw I your sinewy limbs, clothed in blue, bearing 

weapons, robust year; 

Heard your determin’d voice, launch’d forth again and again; 

Year that suddenly sang by the mouths of the round-lipp’d cannon, 

I repeat you, hurrying, crashing, sad, distracted year. 

                        -Walt Whitman.

{Grace and Oleg...If it would had been...}

Before Rainier, before Monaco, before the wedding of the Century, there was a man in Grace´story. His name was Oleg Cassini.

Grace Kelly wrote this note to Oleg Cassini, It says: "I love you and want to be your wife. Grace".



Oleg and Grace dancing in a party in Cannes. Miss Kelly was in the South of France filming "To Catch a Thief" with Cary Grant.


New book of his best wedding´s dresses by Cassini, it has been recently published.


Grace and Oleg in New York, c. 1955. (That´s one of my favourite dress on her).

                 
Wonderful 60s dress, it seems made for Jackie Kennedy.

{What a Summer would I Spend there}

I can´t help falling in love with this shore house...

     This cape cod style house was build c. 1920 and it is located in Nantucket, a so beutiful island in Massachusset, USA. 

       Casualty It is on sale in this real state, take a look to the rest of pitures.

Are you in love of this house too?

“Forbearance in the face of fate, beauty constant under torture, are not merely passive. They are a positive achievement, an explicit triumph.”
