“Generations of lovely women were behind hers they had all given her something of personality. She the grace of running water. Something, too, of its sparkle and limpidity. A thought swayed her like a strong wind. An emotion shook her as a tempest shakes a roses she was one of those vital creatures of whom, when they do die, we say it seems impossible that they can be dead…”

“She was filled with youth’s joy in mere existence. Life was forever luring and beckoning her onward. She knew that a hard struggle was before her.”
