And Kara floated Into the circle ot firelight like a spirit of the forest. She wore only a scanty madder-reskirt and torn bodice. The cloud of her hair tumbled below her waist. Uer tiny naked feet barely touched the ground. Slowly she whirled, and the gypsy fiddles caught her time. A man with cymbals clashed an accompaniment. A fiufe whistled soprano. She Increased the tempo; she varied her steps. She was a flower shrinking he nenth the grass. She was a dove pursued by a falcon. She was a maiden deserted by her lover. She was fairy hovering above the world. We who watched her were breathless with the joy of the spectacle, and when she sank to the ground In a little pile of mgs and hair as the music ended. I thought she must be wolrn out. Rut she hounded up at once, breathing regularly, radiating vitality. Now I will dame the Knife dance!" Who will dance with she exclaimed me?"
