Aziyade (Full Text)

The eyebrows were brown, and the slight frown brought them so close that they met; the gaze suggested a combination of vigour and openness; it contained so much freshness and youth it could have been taken for a child's.

The young woman, whose eyes these were, rose, and from her waist upward one could tell she was wrapped in the long, stiff folds of a Turkish-style cape, a 'feredge', made of green silk, embroidered with silver. A white veil carefully enveloped her head, revealing only her forehead and her large eyes. The pupils were indeed green: that shade of sea green, which was celebrated in the past by the poets of the Orient. The young woman was Aziyade."
