We will read Sorel together he is beautiful, like poetry and the great poets, Dante and Petrarch and Tasso yes, and d'Annunzio. We shall live." "We are living, now," she answered. The look with which she surveyed him he found enigmatic. And then, abruptly, she rose and went to her typewriter. "You don't believe what I say!" he reproached her. But she was cool.
