{spice of love}

I carry your heart with me,
(I carry it in my heart).
I am never without it,
(Anywhere I go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling).
I fear no fate,
(For you are my fate, my sweet).
I want no world,
(For beautiful, you are my world, my true).
And it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you.

Here is the deepest secret nobody knows,
(Here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide).
And this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart.

I carry your heart,
(I carry it in my heart).

{pose like a temple tiger}

Having worked in fashion photography since 1948, Henry Clarke bore witness to the evolution from a composed elegance to a energetic bohemia.

This image, from the June 1, 1967, VOGUE, falls into the latter camp as French model Simone D'Aillencourt, on location in Udaipur, India, poses like a temple statue in a green linen dress by Jacques Tiffeau for Tiffeau & Busch.

{udai bilas palace, rajasthan}

Udaipur, often referred to as "The City of Dreams" or the "Venice of the East", is perhaps the most romantic city in Rajasthan.

Udai Bilas Palace is said to be the biggest palace in the state of Rajasthan, dating back to the mid 19th century, with Maharaja Udai Singhji II (a great patron of Art & Architecture) laying the first foundations.
