Being stronger, thanks Edna St. Vincent Millay.

The sky, I said, must somewhere stop,
And -- sure enough! -- I see the top!
The sky, I thought, is not so grand;
I 'most could touch it with my hand!
And reaching up my hand to try,
I screamed to feel it touch the sky.
[...]


The world stands out on either side
No wider than the heart is wide;
Above the world is stretched the sky, —
No higher than the soul is high.
The heart can push the sea and land
Farther away on either hand;
The soul can split the sky in two,
And let the face of God shine through.
But East and West will pinch the heart
That can not keep them pushed apart;
And he whose soul is flat — the sky
Will cave in on him by and by.
"Renascence" (1912), st. 3 & 20, Renascence and Other Poems, 1917

Sonia Rykiel knows what I am thinking.












I came upon these photos on a very lucky person's Flickr. Besides the fact that they are like ruffled birds with sparkle hair clips, the models are smiling, which is almost startling on a catwalk. Sonia is one amazing lady.
