Su forma de mirar, de caminar, de entrar en una sala. Reina Norma Jean, siempre serás eterna

SIMPLY EPIC noseasboba: I never get tired of this photo. Ella Fitzgerald was not allowed to play at Mocambo because of her race. Then, one of Ella’s biggest fans made a telephone call that quite possibly changed the path of her career for good. Here, Ella tells the story of how Marilyn Monroe changed her life: “I owe Marilyn Monroe a real debt… she personally called the owner of the Mocambo, and told him she wanted me booked immediately, and if he would do it, she would take a front table every night. She told him – and it was true, due to Marilyn’s superstar status – that the press would go wild. The owner said yes, and Marilyn was there, front table, every night. The press went overboard. After that, I never had to play a small jazz club again. She was an unusual woman – a little ahead of her times. And she didn’t know it.”

Querido:
Estoy segura de que me vuelvo loca de nuevo. Creo que no puedo pasar por otra de esas espantosas temporadas. Esta vez no voy a recuperarme. Empiezo a oír voces y no puedo concentrarme. Así que estoy haciendo lo que me parece mejor. Me has dado la mayor felicidad posible. Has sido en todos los aspectos todo lo que se puede ser. No creo que dos personas puedan haber sido más felices hasta que esta terrible enfermedad apareció. No puedo luchar más. Sé que estoy destrozando tu vida, que sin mí podrías trabajar. Y sé que lo harás. Verás que ni siquiera puedo escribir esto adecuadamente. No puedo leer. Lo que quiero decir es que te debo toda la felicidad de mi vida. Has sido totalmente paciente conmigo e increíblemente bueno. Quiero decirte que… Todo el mundo lo sabe. Si alguien pudiera haberme salvado, habrías sido tú. No me queda nada excepto la certeza de tu bondad. No puedo seguir destrozando tu vida por más tiempo.
No creo que dos personas pudieran haber sido más felices de lo que lo hemos sido nosotros.

But there are still the hours, aren’t there? One and then another, and you get through that one and then, my god, there’s another. I’m so sick.

—Michael Cunningham - The Hours (via gabriellewaithere)

There’s just this for consolation: an hour here or there when our lives seem, against all odds and expectations, to burst open and give us everything we’ve ever imagined, though everyone but children (and perhaps even they) knows these hours will inevitably be followed by others, far darker and more difficult. Still, we cherish the city, the morning; we hope, more than anything, for more.
