#2 I love Cyd Charisse, and always will.

Just as reading aloud the verse of Shakespeare or Dr. Seuss
sets the mind to a rhythm and meter.
Watching Cyd move through those portions of the screen
inside the historic and narrow aperture of film,
she still sets a rhythm across that space and time
that enchants the soul and mind.

#4 Poetically said, rammer. Miss Charisse is well worth poetry.

#5 Were that I could construct a poem in an hour as sublime as her least eyelash.

Just watch the Bandwagon, or Singing in the Rain, or any of her other work. They are magnificent, and the work is inside the camera, which makes it doubly hard.

She is as important as Gene Kelly and Grace Kelly, but with the grace neither have.
