Full moon. In the far distance boats go by with their white sails. They
glide through the dusk like swans on a lake. The silence is so intense
that I can hear when a fish rises or a bird stirs in its nest. The scent

When I write his name it is as though I gave him one of those caressing
touches for which my fingers yearn and quiver....
Yes, a dip in the sea will calm me.
I will undress in the house and wrap myself in my dressing-gown. Then I
can slip through the pine-trees unseen....

the sea straight from my own garden, and the sand is soft and firm to my
feet like the pine-needles under the trees.
