Printable Vintage Fashion Photos for Collage, Graphic Design, Papercrafts or Scrapbooking: Parisian Afternoon Dresses, 1925

There is an hour of the afternoon
when the plain is on the verge of saying something.
It never says, or perhaps it says it infinitely,
or perhaps we do not understand it,
or we understand it and it is untranslatable as music.
― Jorge Luis Borges

Printable Vintage Art: The Song of the Lark by Sophie Gengembre Anderson

The Song of the Lark, 19th century
by Sophie Gengembre Anderson (1823–1903)

She acts like summer and walks like rain
Reminds me that there's a time to change
Since the return from her stay on the moon
She listens like spring and she talks like June.
― Train, Train: Drops of Jupiter

I become ocean, mercury, silver
shimmers, fairy tales, fascinated.
― Helene Cardona, Life in Suspension: La Vie Suspendue

A conversation is a dialogue, not a monologue.
That's why there are so few good conversations:
due to scarcity, two intelligent talkers seldom meet.
