Had to get my hands on these because I'd always found them adorable. Cupid Awake/Cupid Asleep. The subject was a little girl but her name slips my mind. I believe it was in the 1910s that these were originally taken.
I decided that I also like the full-color version of this shot (in addition to the B&W), and to keep continuity within the set.

How fickle my heart and how woozy my eyes.
I struggle to find any truth in your lies,
And now my heart stumbles on things I don't know.
I'm awake, I'm alive
Now I know what I believe inside
Now it's my time
I'll do what I want 'cause this is my life

I can't decide which way to rotate this. horizontal or vertical I just dont know. horizontal places more focus on the hair strands against the pillow, vertical is more about my eye positioning. humm. for now it will be vertical.
AWAKE AND SING
by Clifford Odets was directed by Eric Thibodeaux-Thompson and performed April 5-7 & 11-13, 2013
Synopsis – from A Noise Within Study Guide: "The Berger family apartment in the Bronx houses three generations in the same working-class Jewish family. It is in this apartment that Bessie Berger, indomitable matriarch, oversees the lefist leanings of her father Jacob, and attempts to influence the romantic yearnings of her son (Ralph) and potential matches for her daughter (Hennie). When the seemingly inescapable poverty of the Great Depression forces Bessie to rent out a room in the apartment to petty bookie and World War I veteran Moe Axelrod, she encounters a new challenge as he positions himself as suitor to young Hennie. Hennie has her own ideas for love — ideas which, when pursued, lead to serious consequences.
Bessie attempts to protect her family from high hopes and fruitless idealism, grounding her perceptions of reality in the cold truth of struggle. However, the Berger family has a will of its own and does not always support Bessie’s iron-fisted policies, as those who seek to provide a sense of freedom and hope for Ralph and Hennie enact their own redemptive yet heartbreaking plans."
you are awakened
with all power
with all might
in all beauty
life grows
for you and me
in the sunlight
invigorating warmth enveloped my body
gentle awareness blossomed again...
