Frederick Rolfe Quote

He took one long slow breath: crossed right hand over left upon his breast: became like a piece of a pageant; and responded "I will."


Hadrian the Seventh (1904), ch. 3


He took one long slow breath: crossed right hand over left upon his breast: became like a piece of a pageant; and responded I will.

He took one long slow breath: crossed right hand over left upon his breast: became like a piece of a pageant; and responded I will.

He took one long slow breath: crossed right hand over left upon his breast: became like a piece of a pageant; and responded I will.

He took one long slow breath: crossed right hand over left upon his breast: became like a piece of a pageant; and responded I will.
