Izaak Walton, The Lives of Dr. John Donne, Sir Henry Wotton, Mr. Richard Hooker, Mr. George Herbert, and Robert Sanderson (London: Printed by Tho. Newcomb for Richard Marriott, 1670)--the Life of Dr. John Donne first appeared in the 1640 edition of Donne's LXXX Sermons. Louis L. Martz, The Poetry of Meditation: A Study in English Religious Literature of the Seventeenth Century (New Haven: Yale University Press, 1954). A Sermon Vpon The XV. Verse Of The XX. Chapter Of The Booke Of Ivdges (London: Printed by William Stansby for Thomas Jones, 1622). A Sermon Vpon The VIII. Verse Of The I. Chapter of The Acts Of The Apostles (London: Printed by A. Mat for Thomas Jones, 1622).By this self-questioning he brings himself to understand that his suffering may itself be a blessing, since he shares the condition of a world in which our ultimate bliss must be won through well-endured hardship. The physical symptoms of his illness become the signs of his salvation: “So, in his purple wrapped receive me Lord, / By these his thorns give me his other crown.” The images that make him one with Christ in his suffering transform those pangs into reassurance. George Williamson, The Donne Tradition: A Study in English Poetry from Donne to the Death of Cowley (Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, 1930). This is a remarkable sonnet because, although it was written after Donne’s confirmation as a priest in the Church of England, it is teeming with the same erotic language we find in his earlier ‘love sonnets’. What an opening line! One of Donne’s most famous poems, ‘The Canonization’ is a love poem, but like many of Donne’s poems he fuses sexual or romantic love with religious motifs and imagery. After all, to ‘canonize’ someone is to declare them a saint. Love, indeed, becomes a sort of religion in itself – a sanctified thing. A. J. Smith, ed., John Donne: The Critical Heritage (London & Boston: Routledge & Kegan Paul, 1975).

Gli scatti iniziali del progetto che sarebbe successivamente diventato “Belles Mômes” sono stati realizzati in uno studio dove Odette aveva avuto modo di posare come modella per alcuni artisti. Dopo aver fotografato il primo soggetto, Sylviane, Odette si è resa conto che questi materiali potevano tornare utili per rassicurare le altre potenziali modelle: “Penso sia evidente che non c’è nulla di degradante nelle mie immagini.”Marjorie Hope Nicolson, The Breaking of the Circle: Studies in the Effect of the "New Science" upon Seventeenth Century Poetry (Evanston, Ill.: Northwestern University Press, 1950).
