Proust Windowat Henri Bendel's in Manhattan

quote Marcel Proust
"If a little dreaming is dangerous, the cure for it is not to dream less but to dream more, to dream all the time."
a small girl named Thalassa
became excited when she saw the Swarovski
crystals shining. they lined the
edge of water with their brilliance
from east to west. she arrived at the base of a
great red rose, eight feet tall, wrapped in more crystals.
helping herself, Thalassa began climbing each
intricate thorn to the top. Sitting beneath a
Jupiter moon she saw each delicate fold
keeping a book. When she reached and stretched a waggling fish
leaped from its pages, falling down onto a
mermaids back whose fin glistens in Thalassa’s eyes as she
nods her head towards the quiet smell of salt and a
picaroon. the pirate held a teacup of Swarovski crystals
quietly pouring them over a small
rowboat; a silver mannequin took form. the pirate was a
soi disant artist, Thalassa
thought. the moment it got colder she stood
up and reached for Jupiter’s
waistline. standing upright, she played the rings like a
xylophone. The loud song
yelped across the sea as Thalassa continued
zigzagging across each note.
