Reseña del libro "Day And Night Stories"

"Je suis la première au rendez-vous. Je vous attends." As he got out of the train at the little wayside station he remembered the conversation as if it had been yesterday, instead of fifteen years ago-and his heart went thumping against his ribs so violently that he almost heard it. The original thrill came over him again with all its infinite yearning. He felt it as he had felt it then-not with that tragic lessening the interval had brought to each repetition of its memory. Here, in the familiar scenery of its birth, he realised with mingled pain and wonder that the subsequent years had not destroyed, but only dimmed it. The forgotten rapture flamed back with all the fierce beauty of its genesis, desire at white heat. And the shock of the abrupt discovery shattered time. Fifteen years became a negligible moment; the crowded experiences that had intervened seemed but a dream. The farewell scene, the conversation on the steamer's deck, were clear as of the day before. He saw the hand holding her big hat that fluttered in the wind, saw the flowers on the dress where the long coat was blown open a moment, recalled the face of a hurrying steward who had jostled them; he even heard the voices-his own and hers: "Yes," she said simply; "I promise you. You have my word. I'll wait--" "Till I come back to find you," he interrupted.
