Boulevard of St. Michel

You talk like Marlene Dietrich
And you dance like Zizi Jeanmaire
Your clothes are all made by Balmain
And there's diamonds and pearls in your hair

You go to the embassy parties
Where you talk in Russian and Greek
And the young men who move in your circle
They hang on every word you speak, yes I do...

But where do you go to my lovely
When you're alone in your bed
Tell me the thoughts that surround you
I want to look inside your head, yes I do...

Darling what we have: It cannot be taken. It cannot be stolen. And it won’t be forgotten.

`To the Looking-Glass world it was Alice that said,
"I've a sceptre in hand, I've a crown on my head;
Let the Looking-Glass creatures, whatever they be,
Come and dine with the Red Queen, the White Queen, and me."'

And hundreds of voices joined in the chorus:

`Then fill up the glasses as quick as you can,
And sprinkle the table with buttons and bran:
Put cats in the coffee, and mice in the tea --
And welcome Queen Alice with thirty-times-three!'

Through the Looking Glass, Lewis Carroll

shadows from the past.

"The clothes you're wearing are the clothes you wore,
The smile you are smiling you where smiling then,
But I can't remember where...
Or when.
Some things that happened for the first time
Seem to be happening again".

/ - Так может и это тоже судьба? Деньги для меня имеют совсем ничтожную ценность.
- А что бесценно? для вас?
- Бесценное... Я на это не играю.
- Жаль, и я не знал этого раньше.
- Никогда не поздно...
-Никогда - это слишком поздно./

Love. Love. Love

Yesterday evening was a tribute to my dear grandfather. One of the greatest men alive. He's forever young in heart. I love him very very much. And i adore this evening with the closest friends and family.
