Dear Zazie, Here is today’s Lovers’ Chronicle from Mac Tag dedicated to his muse. Are these days halcyon days for you? Rhett
The Lovers’ Chronicle
Dear Muse,
you, in ways inspire
this verse, this vision,
this desire, come
that we may create
these days and we will
not want, nothin’s lost
that we cannot have,
we shall find wherever
we are, attendin’ to,
without fail the words
we long to say and hear,
to hold, not thrown away

“I would ask you,
if you could remain
emotionally detached.
But I don’t think
that is your problem, is it?”
no
as much as i miss
those halcyon days,
facts have a nasty way
of bein’ facts

Original lyrics for you and a song.
Halycon Days
Dear pretty muse, open your eyes,
How can I sleep when you lie near
Were I with you all night I could,
From sleep be free and never need
Alas, my dear, you are not near
And sadly, I must lie alone
Unless you join me, in my dreams
Then these days can go on and on
Halcyon days never endin’
You shall find wherever you sail
Me all the while attendin’
To and lovin’ you without fail
You, in infinite ways inspire
These words, this vision, this desire
Come with me so that we may cling
To these days we cherish and sing
For without this, without desire,
We will always want for love’s fire
Nothin’s lost that cannot be caught
Life without love, livin’ for naught
Halcyon days never endin’
You shall find wherever you sail
Me all the while attendin’
To and lovin’ you without fail
So come on Muse, please come away
In these days in this dream let’s stay,
Because this is Time’s holiday,
Sacred to hold, not thrown away
How can I convince you to say
You will come, now, with me today
Tell me we can find the right way
So come on Muse, please come away
Halcyon days never endin’
You shall find wherever you sail
Me all the while attendin’
To and lovin’ you without fail

And today is the birthday of Louise Dahl-Wolfe (Louise Emma Augusta Dahl; San Francisco; November 19, 1895 – December 11, 1989 Allendale, New Jersey); photographer. She is known primarily for her work for Harper’s Bazaar, in association with fashion editor Diana Vreeland.
Her first published photograph, titled Tennessee Mountain Woman, was published in Vanity Fair (U.S. magazine 1913–36). In 1928 she married the American sculptor Meyer Wolfe, who constructed the backgrounds of many of her photographs.
Among the celebrated fashion photographers of the 20th century, Louise Dahl-Wolfe was an innovator and influencer who significantly contributed to the fashion world. She was most widely known for her work with Harper’s Bazaar. Dahl-Wolfe was considered a pioneer of the ‘female gaze’ in the fashion industry. Dahl-Wolfe created the new image of American women during the world war II. They were strong and independent. Dahl-Wolfe often shot on location and outdoors, bringing her models out of the studio and to exotic locales such as Tunisia, Cuba and South America. Her models pose candidly, almost as if Dahl-Wolfe had just walked in on them. Dahl-Wolf innovatively used color in photography and mainly concerned with the qualities of natural lighting, composition, and balance. Her methodology in using natural sunlight and shooting outdoors became the industry standard even now.
