An Ode To Louise Brooks

________________________________________________________________________________________________



 
 The candle burns
and the lady learns
that fire can be
her best friend
when the flame is
no wider than
a matchstick
and the wick will
work its way by
weeping wax
and the facts
are follies for
 whoever has an eye
for what she does to the camera

  1. No actress in the silent film era conveyed pure lust
    as deliciously as LOUISE BROOKS.

  2. I believe, like many people do, that GRETA GARBO
    was the most sensuous creature of the silent film era
    but if Ms. Garbo were alive today, she would be
    a proud member of The Louise Brooks Society.
