no, not the artful postures of love, not playful and poetical games of love for the amusement of an evening, but love that… overthrows life. unbiddable, ungovernable - like a riot in the heart and nothing to be done, come ruin or rapture. 

SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE  1998, dir. John Madden

when sharon tate said:

I'd like to be a fairy princess — a little golden doll with gossamer wings, in a voile dress, adorned with bright, shiny things. I see that as something totally pure and beautiful. Everything that's realistic has some sort of ugliness in it. Even a flower is ugly when it wilts, a bird when it seeks its prey, the ocean when it becomes violent. I'm very sensitive to ugly situations. I'm quick to read people, and I pick up if someone's reacting to me as just a sexy blonde. At times like that, I freeze. I can be very alone at a party, on the set, or in general, if I'm not in harmony with things around me.
