Brilliant,brilliant glaring light
from far far afar
in dazzling white rays
white fog, white haze
admit the white alley
left and right bare trees
dark grey in the foreground
light grey half distant
lighter grey in the distance
until no longer discernible

Then hardly discernible
from far far afar
a figure, a greyish white shade
embraced by a whiter paleness
a figure on a horse
in a heavy tread
approaching or leaving?
Approaching; slow move
hooves on the wet asphalt
more and more audible

frightful figure
smiling figure
greeting figure

passing by
