Things that make the heart beat faster
Sparrows feeding their young. Passing a place where babies are playing. Waking at night and finding that the lamp is still lit. Hearing, far off, a carriage in the dark, and wondering whose it is.
Elegant things
A white coat worn over a violet waistcoat. Duck eggs. Shaved ice with syrup, in a new silver bowl. Snow on the plum blossoms. A pretty child eating strawberries.
