Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Jules Destrée
C'était près de Venise, naguère, dans un sombre couvent où m'avait amené la ber çante gondole, la noire et pittoresque gon dole qui glisse mollement sur le scintillant saphir des vagues, en laissant derrière elle la ville superbe, aux palais de marbre, bai gnant dans l'azur lumineux de la mer et du ciel, comme un' joyau de pierre en un écrin de velours bleu.
