Colette


"Our lust belongings"
Willy's Claudine
Scandal at the Moulin Rouge

Daughter neglected
Stepson tempted

Maurice Ravel and Jean Cocteau
Cocottes and gigolos
Silk pyjamas and Lea's pearls


Translator's Note: Dima was inspired by Colette, who was not only famous for her writing and feminine sexuality, but also for her love for cats. Her famous quotes were "Time with cats is never wasted," and "There are no ordinary cats." Here's Dima's poetry to prove her second point.
