Dawning of Love

I seized the opportunity when she looking down and fell to watching her, at first stealthily, then more and more boldly. Her face struck me as even charming than on the previous evening; everything in it was so delicate, clever, and sweet.
She was sitting with her back to a window covered with a white blind, the sunshine, streaming in through the blind, shed a soft light over her fluffy golden curls, her innocent neck, her sloping shoulders, and tender rising bosom. I gazed at her, and how dear and near she was already to me! It seemed to me I had known her a long while and had never known anything nor lived at all till I met her.
She was wearing a white dress; I would gladly, I felt, have kissed every fold of that dress. The tips of her little shoes peeped out from under her skirt.
“And here I am sitting before her,” I thought, “I have made acquaintance with her. What happiness, my God!”
I could hardly keep from jumping up from my chair in ecstasy, but I only swung my legs a little like a small child who has been given sweets.
I was happy as a fish in water, and I could have stayed in that room for ever, have never left that place.
Her eyes were slowly lifted, and once more her clear eyes shone tenderly upon me, and again she smiled.
“How you look at me!” she said shyly, holding up a finger.
I blushed. “She understands it all and see it all,” flashed through my mind. “And how could she fail to understand and see it all?”
我抓住了機會,就在她低下頭的時候,我看了她一眼。起初是偷偷地看,後來就越來越大膽。她的麵孔是如此精致,散發著聰慧和甜美,看起來比昨晚更加迷人,深深地觸動了我的心。
她背對著窗子坐在那裏,窗子上掛著白色的窗簾,陽光透過窗簾射進了屋裏。她蓬鬆的金色卷發、潔白無瑕的脖頸、瘦削的肩膀和微微隆起的胸脯都沐浴著柔和的陽光。我目不轉睛地看著她,現在,我與她如此親近!我感覺自己在很久以前就認識她,並且在遇到她之前,好像什麽也不知道,根本意識不到自己的存在。
