John Cage & Merce Cunningham

"It's very simple now, because I'm looking forward to seeing you again rather than backward to having seen you recently. That's a happy way to be" __ Cage

John Cage first met Merce Cunningham in 1938 when he was still married to Xenia Kashevaroff. Their paths crossed again in 1942 + Cage invited Cunningham, who was a member of the Martha Graham Dance Company, to work on a project. Their collaboration turned into a life-long creative + romantic partnership. Cunningham founded his own dance company in 1953 with Cage serving as the company’s music director, a position he held until his death. They staged over 50 dance works together.

Jozef Garlinski & Eileen Short

"I shan't make any attempt to get away, I shall stay in Warsaw. I will wait for you"

On the 1st of September 1939 Nazi Germany invaded Poland. 25-year-old Christian Pole Jozef Garlinski had just fallen in love with Eileen Short, an Irish nurse on an exchange visit from Liverpool. His colonel gave him an hour's leave to get married before the regiment left for the front. Eileen's parting words to Jozef were her commitment to wait.

Jozef joined the Polish underground resistance. He was arrested in April 1943 + arrived at Auschwitz in May. Eileen remained in Warsaw. During the Warsaw Uprising in 1944 she helped care for wounded. The German SS captured + shot anyone who looked like a soldier or who was wearing an armband. Eileen survived only because her red cross armband had falllen off + was stuffed in her pocket. The survivors were taken to a camp for civilians near the city. She escaped from the camp + spent the next few months with relatives of Jozef..

Jozef + Eileen had decided before the war that if they were separated + the Soviets took over Poland they would head for the West + contact each other through Eileen's mother in Ireland. Their plan was successful, both reaching London where they settled + raised their son.

"If one stands in so intimate a relationship with a man as I do with Douglass, one comes to know facets of the whole world, of men + women, which would otherwise remain closed, especially if it is a man whom the entire world has seen + whom so many women have loved."

A 20 year friendship between Frederick Douglass & German born feminist, freethinker, + abolitionist Ottilie Assing was to end in tragedy. After learning that Douglass had married Helen Pitts, Assing killed herself by swallowing cyanide in a public park in Paris. As per her will all her letters with Douglass were burned. She bequeathed him ongoing income from a trust fund + his choice of books from her library.

“Love came to me, + I was not afraid to marry the man I loved because of his color”

Frederick Douglass & Helen Pitts married 2 years after the death of his 1st wife Anna. He was 66 + she, 46. They married amid a storm of controversy. Both families objected to the marriage. Douglass’ children felt his marriage was a repudiation of their African American mother. Pitts' family, alrhough friends to Douglass + abolitionists, stopped speaking to her. The couple remained married for 11 years, until his death in 1895.

"the one real love story of my life"

James Baldwin was 25 in 1949 when he met 17 year old Swiss painter Lucien Happersberger in a little bar called La Reine Blanche in Paris. After carousing several more bars the pair spent the night in Baldwin's bed. Happersberger was 'curious' seeing a Black American in Paris, + was naïve on the prejudices white Americans + French held. "I came from little Switzerland. The color of the skin did not play any role.". Later Baldwin would say they would "meet late in the day at a cafe + pool what money we'd managed to raise + then we'd eat. We shared everything"

It was at Happersberger family chalet that Baldwin would write his first novel 'Go Tell It on the Mountain'. Happersberger, in charge of the domestic life while Baldwin worked, remembers the moment his novel was finished when he heard Jimmy punching out loudly the final six letters "THE END."

Eventually Lucien would marry + the couple's relationship turned to lifelong friendship. Happersberger was at Baldwin's side at his deathbed in 1987

Twenty years ago, today, I went to a free concert at Amoeba Music in Los Angeles.

It was a spur of the moment thing--for me at least. Destiny, though, had the date marked for long, and sure to it, I met my husband in that concert.

Best of all, he just called to remind me.

The story is even more #romancenovel than that, since I didn't get his phone number and he didn't get mine, but a parking ticket put me on his path once again two days later.
