Lady Ottoline Morrell, 1900s
"Lady Ottoline Morrell, Bloomsbury Group society and literary hostess, sometimes wore extravagant Turkish robes and dyed her hair a soft purple. Here it is parted in the middle. swept up with combs, and probably pinned over hair pads to create the exaggerated rolls of hair which were fashionable at the time. Wherever she appeared, Lady Ottoline invariably caught the eye; Quentin Bell, the son of Clive and Vanessa Bell, described her as 'that fantastic baroque flamingo…"
Scanned and quoted from the book "Decades of Fashion" by Harriet Worsley.

How strange talking is- what mists rise and fall - how one loses the other and then thinks to have found the other -then down comes another soft final curtain… how mysterious we each of us are.

To stand on the shore long enough to feel the land behind one withdrawn into silence and the loud tumbling of the waves rise and break over one's whole being…

Oh, I long for gaiety — for a high spirit — for gracious ways and kindness and happy love. Life without these is not worth living. But they must be. We have — the few of us — got wings — real wings-beauties — to fly with and not to always hide under —
Katherine Mansfield, in a letter to Lady Ottoline Morrell, dated July 25th 1918
