Collage shows Tamara Toumanova dancing, her legs and costume made out of what looks like a constellation of stars or a mass of snowflakes. Inscription (handwritten) beneath image: But the snowflakes, hard as diamond butterflies, [?] stopped in mid-air, like a net of stars that no one, not even Tamara can move among!
