"Irina, her head on Olga's bosom, cries: "There will come a time when everybody will know why, for what purpose, there is all this suffering. But now we must live ... we must work, just work! "
( anton chekhov )

Three Sisters

chekhov in london, 1993

vanessa, jemma, and lynn redgrave.

after the show, in a restaurant

the 3 sat down near my table

couldn't eat

couldn't speak

couldn't take

my eyes away

too beautiful were they

all there together.
