Looking into your eyes Nothing,i said,except the air of spring smelling of never and forever. …and through the lattice which moved as if a hand is touched by a hand(which moved as though fingers touch a girl's breast, lightly) Do you believe in always,the wind said to the rain I am too busy with my flowers to believe,the rain answered”
