"Thy Hornbook I cannot spell -

In me all Wisdom"s Secrets dwell.

Prove me Fool by Rule of Thumb -

Blind without me were Heaven, and dumb."

She leaned against a pillar; her right arm, bare to the elbow, lay along the broad marble balustrade of the veranda; the coolness of the smooth stone was grateful in the tropic afternoon. It was an afternoon that drowsed and dreamed and distilled fragrance.
