"At the end of Lac des Cygnes when she left the stage in her great white tutu I would have followed her to the end of the world."
-Rudolf Nureyev
Margot Fonteyn is one of the reasons why we all think of ballet the way we do. Beautiful, graceful, talented; all things to look for in a woman. The best thing about a woman is catching her in an unguarded moment, a scene of quiet repose. It's these moments when you notice her shy smile, the way she tilts her head, and that, even when sitting, she is always en pointe.
