The Explanation
(for those who require one)
And, of course, that is what all of this is -- all of this: the one song, ever changing, ever reincarnated, that speaks somehow from and to and for that which is ineffable within us and without us, that is both prayer and deliverance, folly and wisdom, that inspires us to dance or smile or simply to go on, senselessly, incomprehensibly, beatifically, in the face of mortality and the truth that our lives are more ill-writ, ill-rhymed and fleeting than any song, except perhaps those songs -- that song, endlesly reincarnated -- born of that truth, be it the moon and June of that truth, or the wordless blue moan, or the rotgut or the elegant poetry of it. That nameless black-hulled ship of Ulysses, that long black train, that Terraplane, that mystery train, that Rocket '88', that Buick 6 -- same journey, same miracle, same end and endlessness."
-- Nick Tosches, Where Dead Voices Gather

Gawd, she's beautiful!
Let this be the first of many!
Bravo! Can't wait for more of my all time favorite.
Great start!
She has been my favorite for so many years I can't remember. She is still as beautiful as ever today. Thanx for this & the others to come
This can only get better. Well chosen.
This is going to be an amazing series, I agree! The stills from "Belle de Jour" and "Le Parapluies de Cherbourg," all of the famous David Bailey shots, her ads for Chanel.... we're going to be in for a real treat.
