Public ownership is the strangest thing. The feeling of knowing someone who doesn't know you. Their art, words, attitude, and beliefs can shape your world...and they aren't even aware that you exist. Francoise Hardy was so much more than a muse...but then again, isn't that kinda what muses are? They're so much that their energy spills over to inspire others.

It sounds as though Françoise was far more talented than those who demoted her to 'muse'! Such depth.
