1. I had arrived in Riga to visit a woman friend.
2. Her house, the town, the language was unfamiliar to me. Nobody was expecting me, no one knew me.
3. For two hours, I walked the streets in solitude.
4. Never again have I seen them so.
5. From every gate a flame darted, each cornerstone sprayed sparks, and every streetcar came toward me like a fire engine.
6 For she might have stepped out of the gateway, around the corner, been sitting in the streetcar.
7. But of the two of us I had to be, at any price, the first to see the other.
8. For had she touched me with the match of her eyes, I should have gone up like a magazine.
