Beauty and the Beast, La Belle et la Bête.  

攝影師Annie Leibovitz再度於Vogue US April 2005詮釋童話故事。

華美。

這麼華美，穿著Haute Couture高級訂製服的Drew Barrymore，還是愁苦著臉。

在愛的門前，她躊躇、躑躅、徘徊、徬徨、掙扎、惆悵… 

A Thorny Problem
Beauty finds herself captive in the Beast's palace when she selflessly offers herself up to save her father from the Beast's almighty wrath. [Her father's crime: picking a rose for his daughter from the Beast's garden.]

Poem by Matthew Arnold.

LONGING

Come to me in my dreams, and then 

By day I shall be well again!

For so the night will more than pay

The hopeless longing for the day.

Come, as thou cam'st a thousand times,

A messenger from radiant climes,

And smile on thy new world, and be

As kind to others as to me!

Or, as thou never cam'st in sooth,

Come now, and let me dream it truth;

And part my hair, and kiss my brow,

And say: My love! Why sufferest thou? 

Come to me in my dreams, and then

By day I shall be well again!

For so the night will more than pay

The hopeless longing of the day.
