Once more he fixed his glance on that woman, shining white like a pearl amphora, with her arms above her head, her breasts erect and triumphant, her eyes resting on him, as if she had known him for many years, and he repeated mentally with an expression of bitterness and dejection: "Goya's Maja, the Maja Desnuda!"
And at last his memory came back to him, and he declared he would marry the princess and nobody else. So the next day the wedding took place, and they lived happy till they died. Long, long ago there was born to a Roman knight and his wife Maja a little boy called Virgilius.

He could not find another to call up the memory of the dead like this hired woman whom he had held in his arms and still, it was not she!
