Chagall Loves Bella, His Teenage Wife, An Ekphrastic Poem
Love comes flying in
Our feet defy gravity
We are lifted up, up
And up we fly in the sky
Our hearts enraptured
Overflowing with love
She's my angel
Mine, mine, mine
I am hers, always hers
Joyful, blissful we are
In everlasting love
I adore her wildly
Love her tenderly
Love her beastly
She's my soft flower
Love of my dreams
I want to kiss her
Lick her, caress her
Suck her, drink her
Eat her alive, all alive
She's my love, love
All mine, mine, mine!
The Birthday (1915)
Love lifts them up so their feet scarcely touch the ground. Sweeping down like a comet, or an angel, he bends over backwards to kiss her. Chagall will soon be married to the teenage Bella, his beloved muse, and so the gravity-defying strength of their partnership begins. This is a vision of wild and sensual love, but also of transcendent adoration. The shawl-draped room is a kind of shrine. Chagall wrote of his future wife: "I had only to open my window and blue air, love and flowers entered in with her."
