Mademoiselle De Maupin And One Of Cleopatra's Nights, Theopile Gautier

Printed by Parkway Printing Company

"I was dreaming some rose-coloured dream, full of flowers, perfumes, and birds, when I felt a warm breath on my forehead, and a kiss descending upon it with throbbing wings. A delicate noise of lips, and a soft moisture on the place that was touched, made me think that I was not dreaming."
