Madonna of the Cello

Product Description Excerpt from Madonna of the CelloShe sat winded, her eyes watered, and her blouse Filled and eased after the long climb from Grasse. Her tears had touched off half-laughing hiccups Which she quieted with deep painful gasps.Snail tracks led past her nose to bright poised shells Moved by how far we'd come from our first troubles. I thought: I am not beauty's champion.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
