“The merry-go-round turned and sang, and I imagined myself embarking on
a dancing career with Miralles, dancing, which was so much like flying,
from city to city, receiving bouquets, praise in newspapers, with
joyous music at the center always, pleasure as colorful as the Spanish
dresses, all red, orange, black and gold, gold and purple, and red and
white.”

—Anais Nin, The Diary of Anais Nin, Volume One, 1931-1934, 1966.
