| School girls at Tropical House, Kew |
Imagine six little girls sitting before
their easels twenty years ago, down by the side of a lake, painting the
water-lilies, the first red water-lilies I'd
ever seen. And suddenly a kiss, there on the back of my neck. And my hand shook
all the afternoon so that I couldn't paint. I took out my watch and marked the
hour when I would allow myself to think of the kiss for five minutes only--it
was so precious--the kiss of an old grey-haired woman with a wart on her nose,
the mother of all my kisses all my life.
