beautiful

Lipstick

Pearls

Gloves

Cradled in metal

Sleeping in tragedy

Beautiful,

They say.

Yet

What is beautiful

About hurting so exquisitely

You could leap off the

Eighty-sixth floor

And feeling so hideous

You begged that you

Be burned in death

And burned she was

Into history’s memory

As

the most beautiful suicide.

A beautiful suicide

Robert C. Wiles This powerful photo taken by Robert C. Wiles was published as a full-page image in the 12 May 1947 issue of Life Magazine. It ran with the caption: “At the bottom of the Empire State Building the body of Evelyn McHale reposes calmly in grotesque bier, her falling body punched into the top of a car“. We didn’t own a TV set in 1947. My family and I saw the newsprint version of this…

LOVE NOTE TO A SUICIDE (EVELYN MCHALE)

This picture is from Life Magazine. On May 1, 1947, Evelyn McHale fell to her death from the observation deck of the Empire State Building. Photographer Robert Wiles took a photo of McHale a few minutes after her death.

I saw this picture in a library as a boy and thought she was the prettiest dead lady I'd ever seen. For real. I don't even want to know what that says about me, doctor, but it makes for some poetry sometimes.

So here she is again, the tragic Evelyn McHale, through the magic of the Internet, and now I have something to say.

LOVE NOTE TO A SUICIDE

EVELYN MCHALE

You always were a shining star despite what you were always told Stay just the way you are, never ever let yourself grow old.

Though your heart was truly scarred by what you thought they thought Your exit choice was just too hard to win the fight that you fought.

And how am I to simply carry on? I am undone by your last faithless leap. No flowers in fields, no manicured lawn Your memorial is all that is left to keep.

You held your beauty even in death your style was yet quite committed, And with your final mint-sweet breath your apologies you scarcely omitted.

How I wish I had known how to hold your heart With the grace and the love it deserved For now we are fated to forever be apart as the track of your life’s ending swerved.

Would that I could undo your last deed And walk with you under warm summer skies. If only I was able to answer the cold need that I still see in your death-dimmed eyes.

Evelyn McHale'in Trajik Hikayesi: Dünyanın En Güzel İntiharı

Son dileği olarak, Evelyn McHale kimsenin cesedini görmesini istemedi, ancak ölümünün fotoğrafı on yıllardır "en güzel intihar fotoğrafı" olarak kaldı.

Evelyn McHale‘in ölmek üzere olan dileği, kimsenin cesedini görmemesiydi. Ailesinin, Empire State Binası’nın 86. katındaki Gözlem Tepesinden atlamadan önce bir intihar notu bıraktı. Evelyn McHale ve Empire State Binası’nın son fotoğrafı. Evelyn McHale dileğini yerine getirildi. Vücudu kaldırıma park edilmiş bir Birleşmiş Milletler limuzinine düştükten dört dakika sonra, Robert Wiles adında bir…

Evelyn Francis McHale (September 20, 1923 – May 1, 1947) was an American bookkeeper who jumped to her death from the 86th-floor observation deck of the Empire State Building. A photography student took a picture of her corpse where it lay on top of a crushed car.

FROM TRAGEDY TO ART

Evelyn McHale's story is both tragic and hauntingly beautiful. On May 1, 1947, Evelyn, a 23-year-old woman from California, ended her life by jumping from the 86th-floor observation deck of the Empire State Building in New York City. She landed on a United Nations limousine parked at the curb below, a scene captured by photography student Robert Wiles just minutes after her death. The photograph, titled "The Most Beautiful Suicide," depicts Evelyn lying peacefully amidst the crumpled metal of the car, her body seemingly untouched and almost angelic. The image has since become iconic, symbolizing both the tragedy of suicide and the eerie beauty of her final moments. The photograph of Evelyn's death became famous not only for its tragic subject matter but also for its composition and the circumstances under which it was taken. Robert Wiles happened to be in the area when Evelyn jumped, and he quickly snapped the photo before police arrived. The image captures a moment of quiet and contemplation in the midst of chaos, adding to its haunting beauty. I don't like the idea of calling Evelyn McHale's suicide a "beautiful suicide." It's not right to romanticize or glorify someone's tragic death. Suicide is a sad and serious thing, not something to be called beautiful. It's important to remember that behind every suicide is a person who was in deep pain and needed help. Calling it beautiful can make it seem like suicide is a good or noble thing, which it isn't. We should focus on helping people who are struggling instead of romanticizing their deaths. I also don't like how people say the picture of Evelyn McHale's death is beautiful. It's a sad picture of a tragic moment. She lost her life, and that's not beautiful. It's important to have compassion and respect for her and her family, rather than focusing on the aesthetics of the image.

Evelyn McHale 1947

[hillsofuhhtennessee]

may have had my tip over the edge on making Demon female in the gargoyle fic because some symbolism just came together a little too well. A sense of “I don’t want to go back to where I came from but cannot have you either” vaguely based on a dubiously supported theory that Evelyn McHale was a lesbian.

#it makes more sense in the context of the fic

PLEASE explain what you mean about your great great aunt

This is the post I tagged "love how the second part is probably inspired by my great great aunt". I'm pretty sure this visual is inspired by the picture "The Most Beautiful Suicide", a picture of Evelyn McHale after she jumped off the Empire State Building. She's my great great (great?) aunt.
