Présentation de l'éditeur
At the end of his improvisation the singer waved the instrument gracefully, now in sweeping stroke, again in shorter measure, as if he were a maestro directing his musicians. Then he touched the strings in melancholy strain: Beat, beat, little dove, thy tender wings against thy iron cage. Next triumphantly he intoned: Fly away, little dove, fly away; the cruel bars are broken. Once more in pantomime he directed his fancied musicians. What is it, Don A lfredo? Art fanning thyself, or do mosquitoes annoy thee? He looked upward into a pair of dark, laughing eyes not three feet distant. O, Dona Carmelita, rapturously, I was marking rhythm for the angel choirs which sing in praise of thy beauty and charm. They sing of one angel, even thou, Dona mia, more fair than they. The girl withdrew from the embrasure, brushing her fan across its iron-barred front.
