Reading Flaubert ...



I'm reading Flaubert's L'Education Sentimentale -

Looking at a photograph of myself aged eighteen, I see Frederic - 

There I am, thinking of melancholy poems - 

My hair is long - 

I'm wearing a coat of innocence - 

Soon I'll have my heart stolen in a library - 

I'll learn tender lessons one night when its raining - 

New words will be whispered in my ear -
