Roma (?), 15 maggio 1958

She would not say of any one in the world now that they were this or were that. She felt very young; at the same time unspeakably aged. She sliced like a knife through every thing, at the same time was outside, looking on. She had a perpetual sense, as she watched the taxicabs, of being out, far out to the sea and alone; she always had the feeling that it was very, very dangerous to live, even one day.
