“There is tension between two kinds of stories in The Red Shoes, and that tension helps make it the most popular movie ever made about the ballet and one of the most enigmatic movies about anything.”

I felt helpless. That helplessness you feel when you’ve got no talent to offer

All About Eve

An Irishman Airman Foresees his Death

I know that I shall meet my fate
Somewhere among the clouds above;
Those that I fight I do not hate,
Those that I guard I do not love;
My country is Kiltartan Cross,
My countrymen Kiltartan’s poor,
No likely end could bring them loss
Or leave them happier than before.
Nor law, nor duty bade me fight,
Nor public men, nor cheering crowds,
A lonely impulse of delight
Drove to this tumult in the clouds;
I balanced all, brought all to mind,
The years to come seemed waste of breath,
A waste of breath the years behind
In balance with this life, this death.
