More From Agnes De Mille

On the waves of the brook she dances by, the light, the lovely dragon-fly; she dances here, she dances there, the shimmering, glimmering flutterer fair. and many a foolish young beetle's impressed by the blue gauze gown in which she is dressed; they admire the enamel that decks her bright, and her elegant waist so slim and slight.

The ideas of primary qualities of bodies, are resemblances of them, and their patterns do really exist in the bodies themselves; but the ideas, produced in us by these secondary qualities, have no resemblance of them at all. there is nothing like our ideas, existing in the bodies themselves. they are in bodies, we denominate from them, only a power to produce those sensations in us: and what is sweet, blue or warm in idea, is but the certain bulk, figure, and motion of the insensible parts in the bodies themselves, which we call so.
Sweet Science Blue
Doth not this Æthereal medium in passing out of water, glass, crystal, and other compact and dense bodies into empty spaces, grow denser and denser by degrees, and by that means refract the rays of light not in a point, but by bending them gradually in curve lines? and doth not the gradual condensation of this medium extend to some distance from the bodies, and thereby cause the inflexions of the rays of light, which pass by the edges of dense bodies, at some distance from the bodies?

Music is my life. music runs through my veins. music inspires me. music is a part of me. music is all around us. music soothes me. music gives me hope when i lose faith. music comforts me. music is my refuge.

Are not gross bodies and light convertible into one another; and may not bodies receive much of their activity from the particles of light which enter into their composition? the changing of bodies into light, and light into bodies, is very conformable to the course of nature, which seems delighted with transmutations.
Light Body May
Not bodies produce sensations, but element-complexes (sensation-complexes) constitute the bodies. when the physicist considers the bodies as the permanent reality, the 'elements' as the transient appearance, he does not realise that all 'bodies' are only mental symbols for element-complexes (sensation-complexes).

He had prepared his death much earlier, in his imagination, unaware that his imagination, more creative than he, was planning the reality of that death.

We sift reality through screens composed of ideas . (and such ideas have their roots in older ideas.) such idea systems are necessarily limited by language , by the ways we can describe them. that is to say: language cuts the grooves in which our thoughts move. if we seek new validity forms (other laws and other orders) we must step outside language.

Children are people, and they should have to reach to learn about things, to understand things, just as adults have to reach if they want to grow in mental stature. life is composed of lights and shadows, and we would be untruthful, insincere, and saccharine if we tried to pretend there were no shadows. most things are good, and they are the strongest things; but there are evil things too, and you are not doing a child a favor by trying to shield him from reality. the important thing is to teach a child that good can always triumph over evil.

I don't think i've ever written anything even remotely naturalistic. the closest probably would be seen as 'frankie and johnny,' and that's only 'cause they eat a sandwich and make an omelet in act two. but it's a romantic fairy tale, and i'm very aware of that. i don't think it helps the actors in my plays to lose themselves in the reality of talking to another person. a good mcnally actor always knows he's in a play with an audience.
