The Harlequinade
Dion Clayton Calthrop,Granville Barker
ALICE. Well, she is a perfect darling. But you don’t see her in the first scene. Now Psyche, who is the Soul, comes down … whenever a baby’s born, of course, a little scrap of Psyche is sent down! … But this is how the story goes … That she comes down from Mount Olympus where the gods live to adventure on the earth. And in the Harlequinade she’s Columbine, but that only means a dove, and a dove is the symbol of the soul. And anybody who is fond of flowers knows that, because if you look at Columbine flowers you can see that they are made of doves with their wings out. And so she ought always to be dressed in blue.
