love

The author has a strong sense of woman's psychology. For example, she said" When I opened my eyes in the darkness and you were beside me, I felt that I must be in heaven, and I was amazed that the stars were nothing shining on me." It was the short happiness staying with her lover pleased her as if she were in heaven. As for her, it was the most valuable happiness in the world. And for the transitory happiness, she even lost her dignity in front of her most lover. When the writer asked her if she was willing to his home, the girl said that it was her pleasure. Without doubt, he was astonished. It is unusual for a woman, even though she may ardently desire to give herself to a man, to feign reluctance, to simulate alarm or indignation. She must be brought to consent by urgent pleading, by lies, adjurations, and promises. As we can imagine, only professional prostitutes are accustomed to answer such invitation with a pleasure assent, but she did so.  As she said" How could you know that, in my case, the frank assent was but the voicing of an eternity of desire, the uprush of yearnings that had endured for a thousand days and more?"She was so eager to be with him, to be his love and to be the one who he remembered that she answered him like that. Even when that means she would lose her dignity, she did so without regret.
