Excerpt from Florida Alexander: A Kentucky Girl
Upon the fragrant April morning a voice rang out - the voice of a woman singing in French a tender, pensive little strain, but throwing into the song a fervor, a profound sadness of interpretation such as the simple words and music were never intended to evoke.
And such a voice! A warm contralto, sonorous as the tones of a violoncello; a voice to stir the blood and rouse into instant quickening old memories that have slept so long one almost fancies they will never wake; a voice to tease, and startle, and bewilder, until the brain seems all a-whirl, and the world grows dim and distant and lost in a mist of tears.
