“If you knew Peggy Sue — then you'd know why I feel blue
Without Peggy — my Peggy Sue.
Oh well, I love you gal — yes, I love you Peggy Sue.Peggy Sue, Peggy Sue — oh how my heart yearns for you.
Oh Peggy — my Peggy Sue.
Oh well, I love you gal — yes, I love you Peggy Sue.”

“.. Oh my dear friend, you whose voice called me towards my beautiful past, oh how I love you because you are young, you serve the idea, you understand the beauty of a life devoted completely to abstraction. Oh the devil you have done me, and the good of this devil. There is an atrocious page in my existence... I am not a woman. Neither love nor the family satisfies me. I don’t like the baby. I detest the household. I love all works of the human genius, I adore art the beauties of nature and of the heart. The beautiful, the beautiful in all such as love and such as life.”

Marianne von Werefkin (1860–1938) expressionist painter
