My song is of the white wagtails
flying to reach the stars,
for singing has meaning
when it pulses in the veins
of the man who would die singing
real truths,
not for fleeting flattery
or worldwide fame,
but the song of a lark
from the depths of the earth.

Happy 106th Birthday, Katharine Hepburn
(May 12, 1907 - June 29, 2003)

“Time with her was more than time well spent. A little bit with her was worth days and weeks and months with somebody else.”
- Lauren Bacall

“She’s the most completely honest woman I’ve ever met.”
- Cary Grant

“She used to say to me, ‘Be fascinating, Christopher,’ and I’d say, ‘Well, that’s easy for you. The rest of us have to work at it.’”
- Christopher Reeve
