One evening in the garden, Mirabelle, the witch, was indulging the attentions of her lover, the poet, Armand. Everything was as it should have been, better even, until in the midst of whispering sweet declarations of his love, Armand slipped, and rather than Mirabelle's name, he whispered the name of her younger sister, Gisette!
"Ah!" Mirabelle exclaimed, her eyes darkening with anger.
"If like the flighty moth," she said,
"Thou art drawn faithlessly
To any flame that may present,
So then, into a moth's frail form,
By my will, art thou henceforth sent!"
Her words of power echoed through the garden, so that even the hardiest flowers shivered in the soft Summer air, and Armand, well...you can see what became of him.
Poor, poor, Armand. But Mirabelle, I mean, really. She is awfully cool, don't ya think? :)
We think the moral of this story is pretty clear.
Bein' flighty can bring stern reprimands,
as faithless lovers moth understand. (ouch :)
Lovely evocative nude. We believe this one may have been printed in Italy, but we're still researching the company.
Minor wear to edges and corners and some writing on the back in a lovely hand.
