Daily Dose

From Madame Bovary, by Gustave Flaubert, translated by Geoffrey Wall

GET IT?

"It was the first time that Emma had ever heard such things said to her; and her vanity, like a body unclenching in a steam-bath, melted open, softly, and fully, at the warm touch of his words."

From Part Two, Chapter 9
