I. The White Castle & Paris
The image vanished. Silence fell upon her small room. Princess Lei walked to her nearby window & opened the latch. The scent of the sea & the pounding of breakers far below poured into the room. On the horizon a flood of new born stars poured brightly into the faint arc of light now fading fast into the dark mirror of the sea. In a universe of constant change, everything seemed transitory- yet eternal. A paradox.

The Count turned away from his books & returned to his balcony. The small moon shown bright above the city, a white jasmine flower at its zenith, embedded in a garden of stars. The arc of his life formed a panorama of voluptuous change beyond credibility. He breathed deeply, the morning waves massaging his broken body. The morning light brought to him a gift of freedom. He felt as if he were a young child born into the world- a world of freedom- a world long lost & now regained. Now like a Buddha, he listened to Athena & Aristarchus. He realized he lived in a tiny microcosm- a brief fractal moment in a century of millennia spreading across the vast galaxy of civilization.
