what book does this verse come from?

Question

In the street below a peddler was crying his wares. The notes of a distant song which someone was singing reached her faintly and countless sparrows were twittering in the caves. She was young with fair skin a calm face whose lines bespoke repression and even a certain strenght. Now there were a dull stare in her eyes, whose gaze was fixed away on oneof those patches of blue sky. It was not a glance of reflection, but rather indicated a suspend of intelligent thought.
