The title of this piece comes from the town where Eileen Agar and her partner, Joseph Bard, moved to in the mid-1930s. During her time in Swanage, Agar met and began a relationship with a fellow artist who shared a fascination toward Swanage, Paul Nash.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>

The house was just twinkling in the moon light,
\nAnd inside it twinkling with delight,
\nIs my baby bright.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

— Gertrude Stein<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>

These are the first three lines of Stein’s untitled poem known as “[The house was just twinkling in the moon light].” These lines portray the house in which Agar lived and her relationship to Nash.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>
