by North Star Ed (Editor), William Needham (Translator), Pierre Loti (Author)

"Every now and then turbaned figures would go by, following the wall; and not a single female head was to be seen behind the discreet grills of the women's appartments, the 'haremlikes'. A dead city, one might have said.
I thought I was perfectly alone; then I experienced a strange feeling, and realised that close to me, from behind thick iron bars at head height, two large green eyes were staring into mine.

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."
