Cemetery of Pere-Lachaise

Text and images copyright (c) 1995 Carolyn Daily O'Connor - used with permission.
Nina, who was staying for a while on Upper Bedford Place on Tavistock Square in London, received a postcard in August 1903 from a young girl named Marie-Louise.

My dear Miss B: How dear of you to remember me! The little package was a lovely surprise, and the silk stockings in it even lovelier. I feel very proud of them -- my first pair! Thank you ever so much. Your fine portraits have given me great pleasure. I am sorry you are lonely, so come back soon for I am lonely ...

(at this point Marie-Louise turns the card upside down to continue)

...without you. I leave Thursday morning at 9 a.m. and hope to see you by then. Mother has been ill since you left. I hope trip to Switzerland will do her good. How do you like London? Come back soon. Love from all. Marie-Louise.

The view of the cemetery is down the Allee Principale to a Memorial to the final and bloody last stand of the Paris Commune on May 28, 1871. Fierce fighting took place among the grave stones. At dawn, the 147 survivors were stood against the wall in the northeast corner and were shot. They were buried in a communal grave in the cemetery.

The last time I see paris will be on the day I die. The city was inexhaustible, and so is its memory. - Elliot Paul (1891 - 1958)
