I should like to relate this memory ... br but it is so faded now ... scarecely anthing is left -- br because it lies far off, in the years of my early manhood. br br A skin as if made of jasmine ... br that night in August -- was it August? -- that night ... br I can just barely remember the eyes; they were, I think, blue ... br Ah yes, blue; a sapphire blue.br br Constantine P.
