A chapter from my novel La Lune Blanche, Volume 2.
My novel La Lune Blanche, Volume 2 includes several stories. The chapter in its turn includes two stories. The stories are a part of Mr Anthony Blanche’s writings, which have been published on the Net.
As for the title, do you remember this: “From the corner of the divan of Persian saddle-bags on which he was lying, smoking, as was his custom, innumerable cigarettes, Lord Henry Wotton could just catch the gleam of the honey-sweet and honey coloured blossoms of a laburnum, whose tremulous branches seemed hardly able to bear the burden of a beauty so flame-like as theirs; and now and then the fantastic shadows of birds in flight flitted across the long tussore-silk curtains that were stretched in front of the huge window, producing a kind of momentary Japanese effect, and making him think of those pallid jade-faced painters of Tokio who, through the medium of an art that is necessarily immobile, seek to convey the sense of swiftness and motion.” (Oscar Wilde: The Picture of Dorian Gray)
The sequel of the story of the English boy of the name of Jocelyn Lindenridge and his foster-father Anthony Blanche.
