Cool Light Breeze Across the Seine

On the stone whitebeige border of a bridge over the Seine, she rests her two arms, her body leaning on her outer forearms; the tearlet longlaced white ruffles on her longsleeved dark skyblue dress fall in small tiered cascades from long somewhat full sleeves gathered at the wrists; her medium light brown hair with orangey tints hangs in voluminous ringlets over her shoulders. She looks across the Seine with her longlashed mediumlight brown eyes. A very light breeze touches her hair, ruffles and long full dress lightly, creating a soft ripple (tingle), tinkle; her folded-in-an open-clasp hands look like they are folded in an earnest suppliant's prayer. Oh for a sight of Jean (her cavalier), or even a word or letter - to ease her ruminating anxious (but also hopeful) heart.
