"A startlingly beautiful face, burning eyes. As she came towards me from the darkness of my garden into the light of the doorway I saw for the first time the most beautiful woman on earth. Years ago, when I tried to imagine a pure beauty, I had created an image in my mind of just that woman. I knew long ago the color of her skin, her profile, her teeth. Her beauty drowned me. As I sat in front of her I felt that I would do anything she asked of me. Life faded, She was color, brilliance, sensuality. I could not grasp her core. By the end of the evening I was terribly in love with her face and body, which promised so much. Others feel because of her; and because of her, others write poetry; because of her, others hate; others love her in spite of themselves. At night I dreamed of her, as if she were very small right beside me. A startlingly white face retreating into the darkness of the garden. She poses for me as she leaves. I want to run out and kiss her fantastic beauty, kiss it and say, "You carry away with you a reflection of me, a part of me. I dreamed you, I wished for your existence. You will always be part of my life. If I love you, it must be because we have shared at some time the same imaginings, the same madness, the same stage."
