About the Book

THE MOON'S MESSAGE The Moon looked in at the window, And smiled as I wrote to you, She lay like a frail white maiden, In shadowy folds of blue. Her bosom was bare and tender, And slight, for she still was young, And down from her dainty shoulders A mantle of starlight hung. She wooed with a wanton ardour The winds till they lulled to sighs, And night was transformed with beauty, For love of her limpid eyes. The soul of the cloudy darkness Awakened beneath her beams, The sky swooned away with longing, The Earth stirred in tender dreams. Alas! for the moon was cruel, Far colder than snow was she, Her heart was a burnt-out Planet, Her light but a fallacy: And she looked at my open letter, And called from her couch on high, "Pray give my love to my Sister Who is even more cold than I."
About the Author: Radclyffe Hall, née Marguerite Radclyffe-Hall le 12 août 1880 à Bournemouth, dans le comté du Dorset, et morte le 7 octobre 1943 à Londres, est une poétesse et romancière britannique, auteur de huit romans, dont le roman lesbien Le Puits de solitude (The Well of Loneliness). Biographie Née dans une famille fortunée, Marguerite Radclyffe-Hall est délaissée par ses parents pendant son enfance. Elle fait ses études au King's College de Londres, puis en Allemagne. En 1907, elle rencontre Mabel Batten, une chanteuse de lieder de 51 ans. Elles s'éprennent l'une de l'autre et s'installent en couple à la mort du mari de Mabel. À cette époque, Radclyffe Hall est connue pour son apparence masculine, accentuée par le port constant d'habits masculins. Mabel Batten la surnomme John, surnom qu'elle continue d'employer toute sa vie. En 1916, Mabel Batten meurt. Radclyffe Hall tombe alors amoureuse d'Una Troubridge, une cousine de Mabel qu'elle avait rencontrée en 1905 à Hombourg. Elles vivent sous le même toit à Londres jusqu'à la fin de leur vie. Passionnée par les recherches en sexologie de Havelock Ellis, Hall se définit elle-même comme invertie . Elle publie en 1928 son roman Le Puits de solitude (The Well of Loneliness) qui provoque le scandale. Traduit en français, l'ouvrage est interdit en Grande-Bretagne malgré le soutien de Virginia Woolf, Edward Morgan Forster et Vita Sackville-West, mais il connaît un grand succès aux États-Unis. En 1934, Radclyffe Hall tombe amoureuse d'une émigrée russe, Evguenia Souline, avec qui elle a une liaison de longue durée qui fait souffrir Una Troubridge. Dans les années 1930, elles s'installent à Rye. Radclyffe Hall était membre du PEN club, de la société de recherches psychiques, et de la Zoological Society of London.
