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?”
我抓住了机会,就在她低下头的时候,我看了她一眼。起初是偷偷地看,后来就越来越大胆。她的面孔是如此精致,散发着聪慧和甜美,看起来比昨晚更加迷人,深深地触动了我的心。
她背对着窗子坐在那里,窗子上挂着白色的窗帘,阳光透过窗帘射进了屋里。她蓬松的金色卷发、洁白无瑕的脖颈、瘦削的肩膀和微微隆起的胸脯都沐浴着柔和的阳光。我目不转睛地看着她,现在,我与她如此亲近!我感觉自己在很久以前就认识她,并且在遇到她之前,好像什么也不知道,根本意识不到自己的存在。
