Title: Fire on the snow
Description: "As she entered the empty ballroom, Alida heard the sound of music. Almost without realizing it, her feet carried her onto the polished floor on which the moonlight shone. She moved round the room, waltzing in an enchanted world. Then, her eyes half-shut with the ecstasy of the moment, she no longer danced alone"--P. [i].
