“She was like a vision. When I saw her face, her eyes, I thought she was from another world. Her eyebrows together were a swallow in mid-flight.
I was still very much a young girl. Yet, I knew I could love this person. I would sing in the morning. Perhaps not for her, but for my own freedom in love. She loved my singing.
When I said I would leave her one day, my words probably hurt her deeply. But she said, “I know. I can’t bind you to my crutches or my bed. Leave.” And one day, I opened the door, and never returned.”
— Chavela Vargas, about Frida Kahlo, in Chavela (2017). Photography of Frida Kahlo and Chavela Vargas, 1945, by Tina Modotti.

the fact that there’s thousands of people who went to watch coco in theatres and will never know that “La Llorona” can be read as an explicit sapphic song and was iconically sang by a latina lesbian is truly disappointing

"La femme que j'aime, la femme inconnue, demeure au fond d'un antique palais ou s'obstine un soir perpétuel. (...)
Il y a du silence autour d'elle.
On devine, en l'approchant, qu'elle a toujours vécu dans la solitude. Elle a de longues mains auxquelles la pénombre à donné les tons jaunis des vieux ivoires. Son regard à le reflet des eaux mortes. Elle parle si bas qu'il faut se recueillir pour l'entendre. Et sa parole semble l'écho d'une plainte que nul n'a jamais entendue. Dans la chambre qu'elle habite, on sent la présence mystérieuse de l'Ame. Elle aime les fleurs qui se fanent, et s'attriste voluptueusement lorsque le crépuscule fait tomber avec regret les pétales d'une rose."
Renée Vivien, "La divinité inconnue", dans Du vert au violet.
