The Crushed Flower and Other Stories

CHAPTER III
36/67

And I am so flexible in the writhing of my graceful body that it will afford you joy to watch my easy dance.

Now I shall coil up into a ring, flash my scales dimly, wind myself around tenderly and clasp my steel body in my gentle, cold embraces.

One in many! One in many! Hush! Hush! Look into my eyes! You do not like my writhing and my straight, open look?
Oh, my head is heavy--therefore I sway about so quietly.

Oh, my head is heavy--therefore I look so straight ahead, as I sway about.

Come closer to me.
