- BY
- GABRIELE D'ANNUNZIO
- THE TRIUMPH OF DEATH.
- THE MAIDENS OF THE ROCKS.
- TO WHOM?
- I insist on this episode because really it marks the decisive point.
- I interrupted her.
- I heard her call Miss Edith, the governess.
- I offer this unworthy homage.
- I answered, without hesitation, instead of her mother:
- I detected in her voice the evident intention to reassure me.
- I ran up the staircase, crossed the corridor, entered the room, crying:
- I feared that she and Federico would hear the beating of my heart.
- I said to her, in a low voice and timidly:
- I pressed her to my heart.
- I broke the enchantment by rising.
- She repeated: "Do you remember?"
- I drew up an arm-chair for her from the balcony, and she sank into it.

- I fled like a madman.
- I was obliged to touch him.
- I thought I saw a shadow pass over his forehead.
- I answered in a voice which I forced to be firm:
- I said: "So he coughed to-day?"
- A sudden fright seized me. I thought: "Am I afraid?"
- I met my mother in the corridor, which had not yet been lighted.
- I rose to look at her, seized by fear.
- I left Juliana to go back to my room, under the pretext of a headache.
- I left the alcove.
- I left the room and ran into Raymond's room.
- I bent over her, and we spoke in low tones:
- I put my arm beneath his; I let myself be conducted like a blind man.
- I watched over myself with frightful anguish.
- I said: "The doctor, the doctor--did not know..."
