Tableaux de nostalgie

   Across the grass,     a peacock stalked,

   dragging its tattered tail

-- P. D. James, The Skull Beneath the Skin (1982), p. 121

   Beyond the half-open window,

   a tideless Mediterranean

   lay open to the moon.

-- P. D. James, The Skull Beneath the Skin (1982), p. 134
