I was boring next to the bar of this
smart evening party when, out of
the crowd, I saw an arm catching a
crystal glass. It was sheathed with
an extraordinary bracelet, laced like
a vermilion silk corset, and adorned
with crystal sparkling under the
spots. My emotion at this sensual
vision was even amplified when,
cleaving the dense crowd, I tried to
see the woman to whom this arm
belonged… At the hollow of her
beautiful chest, she wore a pendant
made up of a laced red cord, just as
suggestive as the bracelet, fixed at
a precious interlacing of ribbon and
fine golden chain. I contemplated
her, completely amazed. She smiled
at me…
