Want to Read $ 14.99"If there's such a thing as a kiss of true love, then we must declare that this is one of them: this moment in which their whole life trembles, like the world reflected in a drop of dew."-Clare Pollard, The Modern Fairies
"For a year or so the group stays intimate and exclusively feminine. But then, after Marie coins the term "contes de fées," or fairy tales, the fame of these "Modern Fairies" begins to spread too fast--- though it is flattering in a manner, of course."-Clare Pollard, The Modern Fairies
"Briou thinks of those words of Don Juan in Molière's play: "As for me, beauty embraces me wherever I find it, and I can easily yield to the sweet violence with which it sweeps me along." He imagined it as this: a sweet violence, and himself a new Don Juan."-Clare Pollard, The Modern Fairies
"Perrault likes this bit of the tale--- the pattern of it. The rhythm. He likes the shapes things make. And he likes beautiful, refined things: frescos, hyacinths, clockmakers, marzipans, butterfly wings, golden tableware, fountains, good shoes, the nightingale's song. He is an aesthetic man."-Clare Pollard, The Modern Fairies
