About My First Love and My Last Love

Excerpt from My First Love and My Last Love: A Novel I feel the sunshine dazzling my eyes, and the warm touch of the little fingers thrust into mine. I look down and I see the child with her fair hair, and her white skin, and her clear guileless blue eyes. There is a sound of running water - a twittering of birds amongst the trees - and then I wake to find what was once the reality of my existence, is now its romance - that like the days of my youth, the love of my youth is mine no more, and that though I were to revisit those scenes where I passed all the happiest part of my life, I could never look upon them with the same eyes again as I did in the years the events of which seem all to be enacting over again as I Sit, as I have said, on this Christmas Eve, looking at the miniature of a child - My First Love.
