This assortment denies the severe urge to permit Mistral's such a lot celebrated poetry to trump her multifaceted achievements and vast highbrow pursuits.

What Will He Be Like? What will he be like? I gazed for a long time at the petals of a rose, and I touched them delightedly: I would want that so ness for his cheeks. And I played in a tangle of brambles, because I would want his hair to be like that, dark and curling. But it won’t matter if it is bronze colored, with the rich color of red clay that potters love, or if his smooth hair is as simple as my whole life. I watch the hollows in the mountains as they fill with fog, and I sketch with the fog the silhouette of a girl, a very sweet little girl: my child could be like that too .
