Vita Sackville-West and Harold Nicolson, Virginia and Leonard Woolf, Jean Cocteau and Jean Marais, the poet Thom Gunn and his houseful of committed partners--well, what we've always been is inventive, resourceful, and alive to the many ways it's possible to be together, to make a life. In 1922, when modernism was demolishing all the old narrative certainties, Vita Sackville-West wrote of her ancestral home, Knole of some very old woman who has always been beautiful, who has had many lovers and seen many generations come and go … It is above all an English home … It has the tone of England; it melts into the green of the garden turf, into the tawnier green of the park beyond, into the blue of the pale English sky. |
