Excerpt from The Woman Herself

Suddenly it broke into a myriad prism colours and lights. It was gorgeous - beautiful past de scription. I thought of the Kremlin. I looked for the moon - it was gone; for the stars - they were blotted out. But close beside me were two eyes - warm eyes that humanized the horrible light, and a voice saying Don't be afraid; there is no danger.

No danger! I fetched a long breath and said good-night, and realized that brain and spine were aching as if after a strain. Yet only a shiver had gone over me.

Excerpt from The Woman Herself

To-night we watched a magnificent fire, very close to us. We two were alone on the balcony, detached from everything in the world, it seemed to me, facing the soaring flame. And a kind of spell fell on us, of fascination and fear. The sky turned green, and the moon faded out in the great, ruinous light, and men were fighting it, and excitement and confusion were everywhere about us, but we two sat quite quietly on the balcony watching. And I was vaguely surprised to find myself shaking from head to foot. It wasn't the October frost, it wasn't the fire, but another kind of fear, indefinite - and sweet. The flames were enclosing the great mass dome.
