From the library

Hay dentro de los muros del colegio, como en la penumbra del boudoir, coqueterías intelectuales exquisitas, jóvenes que se ocultan para estudiar, que durante las horas de instrucción colectiva leen asiduamente una novela, pero que se levantan al alba y trabajan con furor en la soledad.
Juvenilia, p. 10 · C1
