Prose Idyls (Classic Reprint) ~ Paperback ~ John Albee

Excerpt from Prose Idyls The young maiden looks out between the curtains of her window in the early morning before she is half dressed. She is still nearly all in white; her lips and cheeks are flushed with joyous dreams; and, luminous under her marble brow, they resemble the pink blossoms of the arbutus among its white sisters. She looks out of the window and sees the earth buried in snow. The roofs are covered with a white thatch that bends under the eaves like a giant's hands curled up with the cold.
