He lay there in a pose reminiscent of Marat. At first they thought that he was asleep, but when they touched his forehead, they realized that he had died. How wretched! How selfish of death. At knew that on the very next day he was to have met her. Now she will never know the sound of her name on his lips or his touch or that he had ever existed. She will pass the shop where they wer to have met and never guess. On of the consolations of old age is that it is too late to die young.
