Pierre Loti
Pierre Loti (1850-1923) was a French naval officer and novelist. Born Louis Marie-Julien Viaud in Rochefort, France, his career took him throughout the Middle and Far East– the perceived exoticism of his writings, then, made him extremely popular. Source
Excerpt From “Le Desert”
But evening comes, evening with its magic, and we
Let ourselves be charmed all over again….
It is the delicate and charming moment in the dying
Light that is no longer day, but not yet night
