Leonora Carrington
Born April 6, 1917, in Clayton Green, Lancashire, England. Her Irish mother was the daughter of a country doctor; her English father an industrialist. She first discovered Max Ernst in an illustration in a book by Herbert Read. When she met the older artist in 1937, she decided to live with him.
"The task of the right eye is to peer into the telescope, while the left eye peers into the microscope."

“Yes,” said Margaret. “Yes, if the present cuts its throat.”
