THE HUSBAND (READING ALOUD): "WE LAY INDOLENTLY ON THE FRAGRANT MOSS, WHILE THE BEAMS OF THE MOON FLICKERED THROUGH THE BRANCHES OF A WILLOW, GENTLY SWAYING IN THE EVENING BREEZE. OVERCOME WITH LOVE WE CRIED TO TO HEAVEN THE LONGINGS WE FELT IN OUR HEARTS." HIS WIFE (SOTTO VOCE): HOW CAN HE POSSIBLY READ SUCH POETRY AND WEAR A NIGHT BONNET AND A FACE LIKE THIS.
Honoré Daumier
The husband (reading aloud): "We lay indolently on the fragrant moss, while the beams of the moon flickered through the branches of a willow, gently swaying in the evening breeze. Overcome with love we cried to to heaven the longings we felt in our hearts." His wife (sotto voce): how can he possibly read such poetry and wear a night bonnet and a face like this.
