Paperback. Etat : Good. I was blinded by his beauty. In the one or two photographs I've kept of him I can still see it. Hestares out of them almost miserably, as if his loveliness is an affliction. Not that I saw it thatway, at least not in the beginning. In the beginning I thought it was a kind of miracle.
