Happy heavenly birthday to Greta Garbo, who was born on this day in 1905.
“Greta's art and character deserve far more appreciation than I can give it in these few pages in this book. There is so much more that I could continue to develop and analyze about this inexhaustible subject on the artistic, human and mystical level I feel I have only scratched the surface in giving this slight picture of her as an artist and as a person. I have said nothing of Greta's mystic quality, which is extremely strong, and which, in spite of her lack of understanding of it in herself, controls most of her motives and actions. She is unconsciously suspicious of this, too, and tries to suppres it and fight against it. If she would give herself completely over to it and be always guided by it, I belive she would spititually and mentally integrate and come powerfully into her own. She will one day — without the slightest doubt.
To know Greta— one must know the North. She may live the rest of her life in a Southern climate but she will always be Nordic with all its sober and introvert characteristics. To know her one must know — really know — wind, rain and dark brooding skies. She is of the elements — actually and symbolically. Forever in this present incarnation, she will be a Viking's child — troubled by a dream of snow.” Mercedes de Acosta in Here Lies the Heart.
