The scent alone seemed something she had always craved without knowing what it was.
But then, very slowly, the pendulum swung back, and as it did so Momo saw to her dismay that the glorious flower was beginning to wilt.
Petal after petal dropped off and sank into the blackness below.
To Momo, it was as if something unutterably dear to her were vanishing beyond recall.
By the time the pendulum reached the centre of the lake, the flower had completely disintegrated.
At that moment, however, a new bud arose near the opposite shore,
and as the pendulum drew nearer Momo saw that an even lovelier blossom was beginning to unfold.
She walked around the lake to inspect it more closely.
This new flower was altogether different from its predecessor.
Momo had never seen such colours before, but these colours seemed richer and more exquisite by far.
The petals, too, gave off a different and far more delicious scent,
and the longer Momo studied them the more marvellous in every detail she found them.
