She caught me by the arm, and
In a hurried whisper ——— "Are you mad enough?"
And I said yes. I covered my face with her hands.
"Hush", she said, opening the gate.
I walked on, now blind, leaving the violent stream behind me
That sparkled (so she said) around the blue rocks.
Then, slowly, having reached the place,
I made a goddess after her own image.
