Capitolo 27
Some one would have to admit, however that there is no acuteness
in the cheerfulness of Georgian. The child-nature in her is so exposed to the sun,
happy, so bent on harmless damage. You still play with life
as a makes the kitten with a ball of thread. Of the day Kitty will fall asleep
with the Ball balanced in the cup of a foot. Then, waking up, when
its dream is ended, she will find that its toy is become
a rocky, thorny, it storm-swept, incommensurable world, and that her, a
woman, is standing, while holding out toward him his/her arm of the suppliant being, and asking

of his really accord she started to speak of his/her father and Audubon--of
that with the adoration of love, of the other with the adoration
of the greatness. I felt as if I were in a cathedral illuminated by the moon; for
his/her voice, the whole revelation of its nature made the stain this way
impressive and so sacred. You addressed as soon as _me_; she was
communing with them. Nothing that his/her father told her concerning
Audubon seems to have been forgotten; and, brought nearer than
never of forehead to that tall spirit, tireless in his/her vagabondages through
