Under the trees, Sara swings, holding in each hand one of the ropes of the swing. She almost touches the water with the tip of her foot. Her blond hair is loose and the white drapery on which she sits flutters around her. Her right leg is completely covered except for her foot. (Melody of Berlioz in the words of Victor Hugo)
