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.
