people were hanging on, jostling one another. Well, simply
like wild beasts. Ten tram-cars I let go past. I saw an old woman
standing there, like myself, waiting. An ancient grandmother. To
look at her face you would have thought that it had always been
like that, that she had always been a grandmother; her wrinkles
were so minute; she was toothless, and goodness was in her face.
I looked more intently; she was standing patiently; did her tired
eyes see anything? Yes, they saw. | | Similar Items: | Find |
