Скачать или смотреть The White Lady - Dorothy Parker - Enough Rope

Dorothy Parker, born Dorothy Rothschild, was a notable American writer, poet, screenwriter, and critic, known for her clever and often sharp-tongued remarks. She was a founding member of the
Algonquin Round Table, a literary group known for their wit and humor. Parker attended Miss Dana's School in Morristown, New Jersey, and the Blessed Sacrament Convent School in New York City. She worked as a drama critic for Vanity Fair and later became a freelance writer.
Her first book of verse, Enough Rope, was a best-seller, followed by Sunset Gun and Death and Taxes, which were collected in Collected Poems: Not So Deep As a Well. Parker worked as a book reviewer for The New Yorker and was associated with the magazine as a staff writer or contributor for much of her career. She won the O. Henry Award for the best short story of the year in 1929. Parker and her second husband, Alan Campbell, collaborated as screenwriters in Hollywood, working on over 15 films, including A Star Is Born, for which they were nominated for an Academy Award. Parker was also active in left-wing politics and reported from the Spanish Civil War. Her witty remarks and clever one-liners are legendary, and she is often remembered as a symbol of the liberated woman of the 1920s.

"I cannot rest, I cannot rest
In strait and shiny wood,
My woven hands upon my breast--
The dead are all so good!
The earth is cool across their eyes;
They lie there quietly.
But I am neither old nor wise,
They do not welcome me.
Where never I walked alone before
I wander in the weeds;
And people scream and bar the door,
And rattle at their beads.
We cannot rest, we never rest
Within a narrow bed
Who still must love the living best--
Who hate the drowsy dead!"
