Behind the Sirene, another, paler shade of pink (and, oh, a waterfall, too).
📷by me.

A photo of Tivoli, Italy, showing buildings on a hill, a stone bridge and arches, and a waterfall beneath a grassy field.

Two shades of pink in #Tivoli, Lazio, #Italy
📷by me, 2017

At left, Ristorante Sibilla (est. 1720) with its terrace and tempietto. At right, the (former?) Hotel Sirene (stayed there in 2002, found it closed in 2017).

Photo of Tivoli, Lazio, Italy. Stuccoed buildings in two shades of pink: Ristorante Sibilla (from 1720) and Hotel Sirene. An ancient tempietto (on the restaurant's large terrace) in the centre, supported by what looks like a stone fortress. High wooded hills in the background.

Hmm. The people who need to sign it, won't. (Because they *like* being bullies.)

The book also includes this:

Text of a poem:
My darling it would have been no sacrifice to give my life for yours
I wish, I am, waiting for you on the "other side"
Offering you a bath and my new poems to read in it
everything is gone except you, really you, you are always with me
Frank O'Hara, March 10, 1959

This is a fascinating piece by Anthony Lane about someone of whom (as the saying goes) I had never heard, I'm ashamed to say.

He's a bit dismissive of Alison Lurie's memoir, but it (along with a selection of Lang's own work) can be found on the Internet Archive. (Link below.)

A Forgotten Queen Bee of Modern Poetry: A débutante, a burlesque dancer, and a poet, the shape-shifting V. R. Lang—who died at thirty-two—wrote some of the most aching, entrancing lines of the twentieth century.
