In addition to repeating the story's titular mantra, the woman alternates between setting her hand on an oil lamp and powdering her nose while looking at herself in a dressing room mirror.
This is the reader's first strong impression that the story takes place in a dream. The man sits in a room opposite a woman and the two repeat the evocative phrase, "Eyes of a Blue Dog." The woman worries that the room they are in is not real, that someone is dreaming it. In the story, the narrator is a man who seems to be dreaming. Later anthologized in the 1972 short story collection of the same time, "Eyes of a Blue Dog" depicts a tumultuous relationship between a man and a woman all through one of its narrator's dreams.
"Eyes of a Blue Dog" is a 1950 short story by the Colombian writer Gabriel García Márquez, whose most famous work is the novel, One Hundred Years of Solitude.
