Excerpt from Violette of Père Lachaise

Yet her lips were pale and were framed in a kiss which was an unconsummated dying. On the threshold that she was approaching a voice arrested her. Love and sorrow hailed her, memories beckoned, and her tears grew stilled, while she pressed one hand to her heart, and threw that kiss with the other. Thus She passed into death, a flower snapped in two, not by a Zephyr, but by a wind that had known the sea, and at first had rippled gently its surface in beautiful laughter, and then in angry revulsion had lashed it to foam.
