A room for each day of the year ...

I climbed the still opulent staircase to wander the high ceilinged corridors -

I felt the nearness of the invisible guests -

Perfumed women from the demimonde -

A gloved hand upon a marble boy -

Bearded squires with dazzling cuffs -

An immaculate orchestra playing on the terrace -

Exquisite ices -

A never ending summer -

A room for each day of the year -
