We wished to enjoy our pleasure to the fullest extent.

We seemed lighter than in the morning, and ran and jumped without the slightest feeling of fatigue.

An abundance of animal spirits impelled us onward and we felt a peculiarly robust twitching in our muscles.

We shook our heads in the wind and touched the grasses with our fingers.

We breathed the salt air of the ocean, and noted and assimilated every color, every sunbeam, every sound, the design of the seaweed, the softness of the sand, the hardness of the rocks that echoed under our footsteps, the height of the cliffs, the fringe of the waves, the accidents of the coast, and the voice of the horizon; and the breeze that passed over our faces like intangible kisses, the sky with its passing clouds, the rising moon, the peeping stars.
