Summary: "Un cœur virginal" by Remy de Gourmont is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story primarily revolves around the complex relationships between the main characters, M. Hervart, a middle-aged museum conservator, and Rose, a young girl full of innocence and budding emotions.

Hervart is observed in a rural setting, where he encounters the youthful Rose, who is picking blackberries. Their playful banter reveals Rose’s innocence and Hervart's conflicting feelings towards her, oscillating between admiration and a troubling desire. As their friendship blossoms, internal monologues from both characters hint at deeper emotional currents beneath their innocent exchanges, setting the stage for a poignant examination of love's complexities, attraction, and the inevitable loss of innocence. The opening establishes a rich, intimate atmosphere that invites readers to consider the fragile boundaries between friendship and romantic love. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
