In those days, when he hadn't
really known
anything at all, geisha had seemed to him the most beautiful and
enchanting of
creatures. When a geisha spoke to him, it made him so unspeakably
happy that he
hardly knew what to do. Today, even if he wanted to, he could never
return to
such an innocent state of mind.
