the garden

“How long did they stand there? Both, as it were, caught in that circle of unearthly light, understanding each other perfectly, creatures of another world, and wondering what they were to do in this one with all this blissful treasure that burned in their bosoms and dropped, in silver flowers, from their hair and hands? For ever – for a moment?…” Yes. Just that.’” from the short story “Bliss” by Katherine Mansfield
