    • Youthful, Childish
      • "tottering, stumbling, clutching child"
      • "A new race of beings must have sprung up, leaving only you and me as past relics"
        • "You have slept precisely 100 years... left to guard your slumbers"

          • MEETING POINT- "the bell was silent...a brazen calyx of no noise"
      • Secluded Settings
        • "Under the orange trees.. the western sky to flaming copper and gold"
        • "A small leafy corner, with a few green tables under the orange trees" "seated beside her in the little garden, as if a designing Providence had led him into her path"
        • shadows of "stealthy grotesque monsters" "misty spirit forms... phantom ships" VS "picking at the hem of her muslin gown"
        • MEETING POINT - "The camels crossed the miles of sand that stretched around the cups and plates; the desert was their own"
          • "Time was away and somewhere else"
      • "her thoughts were elsewhere, somewhere in advance of her body, and she was striving to overtake them"
