“My body is but composed of long bones,
And I had all the time but skin on the bones,
I shine in company, and without any rest,
In the height of the summer, I am at all the parties.”
The Language of the Fan in the Eighteenth Century
To yawn behind one’s fan: Go away, you bore me .
To lift the fan towards the right shoulder: I hate you.
To lower the closed fan towards the floor: I scorn you, I despise you.
To lightly touch the closed fan to one’s right eye: When shall I see you?
To signal towards oneself with the fan closed: I always want to be with you .
To threaten with the fan closed: Do not be too bold, audacious.
To raise the fan with the right hand: Are you faithful to me?
To hide the eyes behind one’s fan: I love you.
To offer a fan: You please me very much.
To conceal one’s left ear with the closed fan: Do not disclose our secret.
To hold the fan over one’s heart: I am yours for life.
To slowly close one’s fan: I agree completely, I accept all that you say.
V. Pokrovski: Elegance in the Satirical Literature of the Eighteenth Century , p.43 Moscow, 1903.
The Language of the Fan in the Nineteenth Century
To completely open one’s fan: I am thinking it over .
To place one’s hand over the heart while holding the fan open in front of the eyes: I love you .
To indicate the floor near oneself with the fan: Come close to me.
To press the open fan with both hands against one’s breast while slowly lifting the eyes: I humbly request forgiveness.
To lightly touch one’s mouth repeatedly with the closed fan: Could I speak with you in private?
