CITY OF LIGHTS
10 January 1960
When I lost my voice I didn't do anything about it,was too obsessed with Ari,wanted to get pregnant,to keep him,to be his wife.Ari was the second best,I was after him because I had no voice left,and Ari was there,waiting,wanting the most famous Greek woman of her time
Friends in Paris mentioned the famous herbalist Maurice Messegue in Fleurance,south of France,others suggested the great Hungarian healer Oskar Estebany in Montreal,and Serge Alalouf in Toulouse,they
were the greatest in their field,the healers of the day,they could have helped.I was too obsessed with Ari,wanted to be part of the Jet Set to remain in the limelight, it was a craving.
After the December 1958 recital L' Opera de Paris offered me wonderful French mezzo parts Carmen ,Dalila,Juliette,Ophelie or anything I care to choose,French like Italian was created for singing.

I wanted to do it,the will was there,but not the strength,the energy,I was
chronically tired,since that fated night in Rome,I had severe inflammation of the vocal cords.
I love Ari,I am not men crazy like they say,one man at a time,I was,am and will always be possessed by that glorious demon of sound,music,will never sacrifice my voice,my career for anything nor anyone,certainly not for Ari.I took him back after his wedding with Jackie Kennedy ,didn't have the choice,didn't have
anyone else at the time.I coud no longer sing,I alone knew why,not the critics,not the Queen's cousin Lord Harewood,not Franco Zeffirelli,not the Pope,I alone knew,was too tired to fight back destiny.I lost my voice because of the inflammation of the vocal cords,which makes singing extremely painful ,inflammation is the first sign of any illness,I took too many medications,for chronic fatigue,low blood pressure,to sleep at night,to wake up in the morning ,they weakened my immune system,so illness set in.In 1960 I had only my maid Bruna to look after me,I was all alone.
