The Curtain Illustration

An illustration in reference to a poem, written by Australian poet, Zora Bernice May Cross, showing a woman in a blue dress, hiding behind a stage curtain. O Dawn be swift amid the listening firs! Behind the curtain warm Dolores waits. Daggers are keen that clash for Love. She stirs. Her hand will strike the shadow that she hates. Two fight for love, but one may win for dust... O slender wrist nerved fierce by wine and hate! Not Juan, Julian drew that fatal thrust Through the thin curtain. Dawn is at the gate. Date: circa 1923
