"The Dead Lake and Other Tales"
Paul Heyse
I could not even see your face; it was a childish trick, and I repented if it a moment later; yet an irresistible impulse made me look once more over the wall, and then when I saw you standing in the carriage and waving the branch of pomegranate blossoms towards me, I was seized as with a fever and from that moment you have always been before me whatever I do.
"The Dead Lake and Other Tales"
Paul Heyse

"The Dead Lake and Other Tales"
