But at my back I always hear
Time's wingèd chariot hurrying near;
And yonder all before us lie
Deserts of vast eternity.
Thy beauty shall no more be found,
Nor, in thy marble vault, shall sound
And your quaint honour turn to dust,
And into ashes all my lust:
The grave's a fine and private place,
But none, I think, do there embrace.
Now therefore, while the youthful hue
Sits on thy skin like morning dew,
And while thy willing soul transpires
At every pore with instant fires,
Now let us sport us while we may,
And now, like amorous birds of prey,
Rather at once our time devour
Than languish in his slow-chapt power.
Let us roll all our strength and all
Our sweetness up into one ball,
And tear our pleasures with rough strife
Through the iron gates of life:
Thus, though we cannot make our sun
Stand still, yet we will make him run.
Cleopatra director Joseph L. Mankiewicz chats with Elizabeth Taylor on set.
“‘Larry met me in the hotel lobby and we went upstairs and we fucked and we fucked and we fucked the whole weekend.’” — Vivien Leigh to David O. Selznick, who had arranged for her and Laurence Olivier to meet in Kansas City for a weekend during he filming of GWTW. Larry was performing in a play in New York, and the stress of filming and not having Larry there in Hollywood was doing a number on Vivien’s mental health.

Al: If you had children, what would you call them? Have you thought of names?
Edie: Just one. I’d like a girl - I’d make her the most famous dancer in the world. Never wanted a son.
Al: What would her name be?
Edie: Edith. [giggles]
Al: [hysterical laughter] I should have known! I should have known!
David: Little or big? Little Edie! Then you could be Big Edie!
Edie: You can imagine how the husband would like it! He’d have other plans for his daughter, and I’d say “Listen dear, we’re gonna take her over to Russia to get the correct training.” And he’d say, “Are you crazy, that’s my child! She’s gonna go to Farmington,” or something. I don’t know.
