[mary]
we went out to see mrs gardner today. she will soon die, and she must know it, but she is unchanged in her egotism, her malice, her attachment to detail, to nonsensical things

a younger isabella’s bravado was charming
now i find her pathetic, ugly, alarming
determined that no one should see her treasures
she keeps her junk shop closed for her asinine pleasures

[rembrandt]
from henry james:

[degas]
she had an immense curiosity about life and was constantly staring and wondering. her imagination was ridiculously active; when the door was not open it jumped out the window

[degas]
of course, the madam could be self righteous
the look on her face, if found wrong, was just priceless

[bb]
dearest isabella, i dream of you and boston
spare a thought for old friends, i hope you’ve not forgotten

[rembrandt]
see a dusty gem, once a socialite
her fading bark is no match for her bite
lives for spectacle, but she remains a mystery
now losing speed but clinging to the raft of history
[degas/vermeer]
here as she outlives her scores of young men

[degas/manet/vermeer]
watch the tides turn against isabella again

[rembrandt]
the end of an era

[isabella]
they have no right to say such things about me

[manet]
none of us have any input in how we’re remembered

[vermeer]
or if we’re remembered at all

[manet]
that’s the price we pay for being extraordinary

[isabella]
what use for me is memory without my say in it
legacy is merely story, let me spin it
[rembrandt]
paintings, letters, those live on forever
the tread we leave behind fades – far less pressure

[isabella]
let my letters blaze, lighting up the night
leave the future wanting for the words i write
we had our fun, but tell my boys it’s over
set my story straight before i lie in clover
the museum won’t lead me astray
resisting the urge of history’s decay
tome turned novella

[artists]
isabella
isabella
