Dear Don,

I don't understand the second part of this sentence from the German Lolita. It follows the apparent seduction scene.

Can you help?



Tage und Nächte kamen und gingen vorbei - das Mysterium der Schönheit hielt sie in ewig gleichbleibender, singender Gelassenheit umsponnen.



thanks,
Carolyn
