Quotation from: The Arrow of Gold

Written by: Joseph Conrad


The voice uttering these words was the voice of Therese and I
looked at her from a bed draped heavily in brown silk curtains
fantastically looped up from ceiling to floor. The glow of a
sunshiny day was toned down by closed jalousies to a mere
transparency of darkness. In this thin medium Therese's form
appeared flat, without detail, as if cut out of black paper. It
glided towards the window and with a click and a scrape let in the
full flood of light which smote my aching eyeballs painfully.
