Sous les franges jaunes et rouges d’une tente de toile, la grande danseuse a fini de danser. La nuit tiède venue du sud les fait frissonner; des autos noires, de luxe, silencieuses et souples, s’arrêtent au bord du trottoir: l’or ou l’argent d’un soulier de bal, puis, derrière la vitre, un visage de femme, un peu las sous les fards, mais fier, heureux d’avoir été vu trois heures durant au fond d’une loge.

He was writing about Florence, about the papacy, about the men who had wronged him, about the woman he had loved at nine years old and never forgotten. He was also writing about the structure of existence, the nature of justice, and what it means to have lived.
