Apparently, it could be a "précieux" reference to a lady's eye- lashes. Miguel Serdourq's text, says the following: ", Miguel Serdoura has adopted a fairly slow tempo, in order to bring out the mystery of this piece, whose title may well evoke, in the langage précieux, the fluttering eye-lashes of a lady the eye-lashes, those baricades which protect the mysteries of the soul, while hiding the treacherous mirrors that are the eyes. Perhaps, the eye-lashes of "la belle homicide" , who strikes with a flutter of her eyes, at least it could be in this area of indirect precieux reference to la femme fatale.
