I have been reading a rose colored glasses version of the life of Lord Byron. The author thanks Alain Delon for agreeing to have his image represent the poet on the covers
The Fourth Book cover is simply gorgeous. A Runaway Star by Gretta Curran Browne. Haven’t quite figured out how to share it here.
Good God, Sheila…these two pieces…Rowlands and Delon, are brilliant descriptions of personality and behavior, both obvious and hidden. You get inside these people (and all of us!). We are all mysteries to ourselves. Love the notion that writers, and artists in general, are observers who crave apartness, time to think. You nail the confusing wonder of it all in both of these tributes! Way to go!
This description of Delon really brings to mind Tosches's bio of Dean Martin for whatever reason, a similar kind of unknowability
Thanks so much. Delon’s unknowability was so complete! And it’s authentic, not a pose!
This is a huge compliment. Tosches rules.
This was really nicely done. Thank you!

no way! Lord Byron is a perfect continuum point for Delon - wow. A kind of seductive angel/devil. and gorgeous.
