Cornell Woolrich Quotes
She Was Beautiful, Only Hers Was The Dark Beauty Of Night, Just As Sherry's Was The Bright Beauty Of Daytime. Her Hair Was Raven-black, Ending In A Sort Of Widow's Peak Low On Her Forehead, And Her Face And Arms Were Alabaster- White. Her Gown Was A Clinging Thing Of Swirling Black, Almost Like Smoke, And Two Peculiar Shoulder-draperies She Wore, Hanging Down Loosely And Caught At The Wrists, Almost Suggested Great Triangular Wings When Her Arms Were In Motion.
Her Lips Were A Red Gash In The Pallor Of Her Face, And They Glistened As Though She Had Daubed Them With Fresh Blood Instead Of Rouge.
"What's Your Name?" I Asked.
"Call Me Faustine," She Said Low. I Saw Her Staring Fixedly At Me, With A Sort Of Half-smile On Her Face, But Her Gaze Rested A Little Lower Than My Own Face. I Fingered My Neck Uneasily. "Is There Something On My Collar?"
("Vampire's Honeymoon")
