“She had been dressed in her sky-blue gown and had been suddenly almost terrible in her completeness—so different from the ragged serving girl who had slept on his shoulder. And yet, the very same girl had been inside that blue dress.”

For the sky
Confuses its white sheep
With pure angels
The sea
Shepherdess of the blue Infinite”
