Takarazuka Girl, ca. 1920 – Unknown photographer. “Probably a Takarazuka Girl, if she had been born only 30 years earlier, she might have become a talented Geisha. Although my photo title paints her as a Japanese ‘Tinkerbell’, as flickr poster Muiz Anwar points out below, she is a Bumblebee or a bee, and not a Fairy.”

“Si hay algún tormento estéril que sea mayor que el de los celos,
quizá sea el remordimiento. Incluso es probable que los dolores de la
pérdida sean menos intensos; y, como es natural, es frecuente que ambos
sufrimientos se combinen, como me sucedía entonces. Hablo de
remordimiento, no de arrepentimiento. Dudo de haber experimentado jamás
el arrepentimiento en su forma pura; tal vez no exista en forma pura. El
remordimiento contiene culpa, pero una culpa impotente y desesperada
que no sabe de cura alguna para la dolorosa mordedura.”
