{\color{gray}
On the \adj{burning} \PN{February} \noun{morning} \PN{Beatriz Viterbo} \verb{died}, 
after \verb{braving} an \noun{agony} 
that never for a \adj{single} \noun{moment} \verb{gave way} to \noun{self-pity} or \noun{fear}, 
\pron{I} \verb{noticed} that the \noun{sidewalk billboards} around \PN{Constitution Plaza} 
\verb{were advertising} some \adj{new} \noun{brand} or \noun{other} 
of \PN{American} \noun{cigarettes}.  
The \noun{fact} \verb{pained} \pron{me}, for \pron{I} \verb{realized} 
that the \adj{wide} and \adj{ceaseless} \noun{universe} 
\verb{was} \adv{already} \verb{slipping} away from \pron{her} and that this \adj{slight} 
\noun{change} was the \noun{first} of an \adj{endless} \noun{series}.  
The \noun{universe} may \verb{change} but not \pron{me}, 
\pron{I} \verb{thought} with a \adj{certain sad} \noun{vanity}.  
\pron{I} \verb{knew} that at \noun{times} 
\pron{my} \adj{fruitless} \noun{devotion} \verb{had annoyed} \pron{her}; 
now that \pron{she} \verb{was} \adj{dead}, 
\pron{I} \verb{could devote} \pron{myself} to \pron{her} \noun{memory}, 
without \noun{hope} but also without \noun{humiliation}.  
\pron{I} \verb{recalled} that the \noun{thirtieth} of \PN{April} 
\verb{was} \pron{her} \noun{birthday}; on that \noun{day} 
to \verb{visit} \pron{her} \noun{house} on \PN{Garay Street} 
and \verb{pay} \pron{my} \noun{respects} to \pron{her} \noun{father} 
and to \PN{Carlos Argentino Daneri}, \pron{her} \adj{first} \noun{cousin}, 
\verb{would be} an \adj{irreproachable} and \adj{perhaps unavoidable} 
\noun{act} of \noun{politeness}.  
Once again \pron{I} \verb{would wait} in the \noun{twilight} 
of the \adj{small}, \adj{cluttered} \noun{drawing room}, 
once again \pron{I} \verb{would study} the \noun{details} 
of \pron{her} \adj{many} \noun{photographs}: 
\PN{Beatriz Viterbo} in \noun{profile} and in \adj{full} \noun{colour}; 
\PN{Beatriz} \verb{wearing} a \noun{mask}, 
during the \PN{Carnival} of \noun{1921}; \PN{Beatriz} at \pron{her} \PN{First Communion}; 
\PN{Beatriz} on the \noun{day} of her \noun{wedding} to \PN{Roberto Alessandri}; 
\PN{Beatriz} soon after \pron{her} \noun{divorce}, at a \noun{luncheon} at the \PN{Turf Club}; 
\PN{Beatriz} at a \adj{seaside} \noun{resort} in \PN{Quilmes} 
with \PN{Dalia San Marco Porcel} and \PN{Carlos Argentino}; 
\PN{Beatriz} with the \PN{Pekingese} \noun{lapdog} \verb{given} \pron{her} by 
\PN{Villegas Haedo}; \PN{Beatriz}, \adj{front} and \adj{three-quarter} \noun{views}, 
\adj{smiling}, \noun{hand} on \pron{her} \noun{chin}\dots  
\pron{I} \verb{would not be forced}, as in the \noun{past}, 
to \verb{justify} \pron{my} \noun{presence} with 
\adj{modest} \noun{offerings} of \noun{books} --- 
\noun{books} whose \noun{pages} \pron{I} \adv{finally} \verb{learned} 
to \verb{cut} \adv{beforehand}, so as \verb{not to find out}, 
\noun{months} \adj{later}, that \pron{they} \verb{lay} \adv{around} \adj{unopened}.
