y. The leaves had edges of silver that trembled and rippled like a river of green and fire flowing high above us. We did not wish to move. We thought suddenly that we could lie thus as long as we wished, and we laughed aloud at the thought. We could also rise, or run, or leap, or fall down again. We were thinking that these were thoughts without sense, but before we knew it our body had risen in one leap. Our arms stretched out of their own will, and our body whirled and whirled, till it raised a wind to rustle through the leaves of the bushes. Then our hands seized a branch and swung us high into a tree, with no aim save the wonder of learning the strength of our body. The branch snapped under us and we fell upon the moss that was soft as a cushion. Then our body, losing all sense, rolled over and over on the moss, dry leaves in our tunic, in our hair, in our face. And we heard suddenly that we were laughing, laughing aloud, laughing as if there were no power left in us save laughter. T AND WE LOOKED UP AT THE SKY THE LEAVES HAD EDGES OF SILVER THAT TREMBLED AND RIPPLED LIKE A RIVER OF GREEN AND FIRE FLOWING HIGH ABOVE US WE DID NOT WISH TO MOVE WE THOUGHT SUDDENLY THAT WE COULD LIE THUS AS LONG AS WE WISHED AND WE LAUGHED ALOUD AT THE THOUGHT WE COULD ALSO RISE OR RUN OR LEAP OR FALL DOWN AGAIN WE WERE THINKING THAT THESE WERE THINGS WITHOUT SENSE BUT BEFORE WE KNEW IT OUR BODY HAD RISEN IN ONE LEAP OUR ARMS STRETCHED OUT OF THEIR OWN WILL AND OUR BODY WHIRLED AND WHIRLED TILL IT RAISED A WIND TO RUSTLE THROUGH THE LEAVES OF THE BUSHES THEN OUR HANDS SEIZED A BRANCH AND SWUNG US HIGH INTO A TREE WITH NO AIM SAVE THE WONDER OF LEARNING THE STRETCH OF OUR BODY THE BRANCH SNAPPED UNDER US AND WE FELL UPON THE MOSS THAT WAS SOFT AS A CUSHION THEN OUR BODY LOSING ALL SENSE ROLLED OVER AND OVER ON THE MOSS DRY LEAVES IN OUR TUNIC AND OUR HAIR IN OUR FACE AND WE HEARD SUDDENLY THAT WE WERE LAUGHING LAUGHING ALOUD LAUGHING AS IF THERE WERE NO POWER LEFT IN US SAVE LAUGHTER
