《故园风雨后》TeacherGwen230131

It had been an afternoon of low cloud and summer squalls, so overcast that at times I had stopped work and roused Julia from the light trance in which she sat - she had sat so often; I never tired of painting her, forever finding in her new wealth and delicacy - until at length we had gone early to our baths and, on coming down, dressed for dinner, in the last half-hour of the day, we found the world transformed; the sun had emerged; the wind had fallen to a soft breeze which gently stirred the blossom in the limes and carried its fragrance, fresh from the late rains, to merge with the sweet breath of box and the drying stone. The shadow of the obelisk spanned the terrace. 一个云层很低还有夏季暴风的下午，天空乌云密布，密得我时不时得停止工作，然后把坐着的Julia从轻微的迷睡中唤醒——她老是坐着。我从没有厌倦过给她画像，我永远能发现她全新的珍美和精致——直到最后，我们提前入浴，然后边下楼边穿衣去享用晚餐，在这天最后的半个小时里，我们发现世界已经改天换地：太阳露头了。风减弱成了柔柔的微风，温柔地吹动椴树的花簇，并裹挟着它的芬芳，这芬芳由于最近的降雨很是清爽，风将它混合进包厢和干燥的石头的香甜呼吸。方尖石塔的影子横跨了整个阳台。
