"Let me go, Phoenix!" David cried. "Let me by! I want to run, I must run!" LET ME GO PHOENIX DAVID CRIED LET ME BUY I WANT TO RUN I MUST RUN
 a full choir, diminished into one soprano voice that pierced David through and through, caressing and tugging, calling, "Come ... come ... run ... run...." "Phoenix!" David cried. "Oh, Phoenix, listen, listen!" "Run ... run ..." the pipes whispered. "Let us go home, my boy," said the Phoenix warningly. "Come ... come ..." cried the pipes. They could be resisted no longer. In a transport of joy, David shouted "I'm coming!" and raced away toward the sound. There was nothing in his mind now, nothing in the whole world, but a desire to be near those pipes. He must run like the winds, leap and shout, roll in the grass, throw himself down flowered slopes, follow that magic music wherever it should lead. He fled blindly through the wood, heedless of the branches which whipped his face and the thorns which tore at his legs. The pipes were calling more loudly now: "Run ... run ... faster ... faster...." Then the Phoenix plunged to earth in front of him, threw out both wings, and shouted "Stop! YED BUT GREATER AS AN ORGAN IS GREATER THAN A FLUTE THE WILD SWEET SOUND ROSE AND FELL SWELLED LIKE A FULL CHOIR DIMINISHED INTO ONE SOPRANO VOICE THAT PIERCED DAVID THROUGH AND THROUGH CARESSING AND TUGGING CALLING COME COME RUN RUN PHOENIX DAVID CRIED O PHOENIX LISTEN LISTEN RUN RUN THE PIPES WHISPERED LET US GO HOME MY BOY SAID THE PHOENIX WARNINGLY COME COME CRIED THE PIPES THEY COULD BE RESISTED NO LONGER IN A TRANSPORT OF JOY DAVID SHOUTED I'M COMING AND RACED AWAY TOWARD THE SOUND THERE WAS NOTHING IN HIS MIND NOW NOTHING IN THE WHOLE WORLD BUT A DESIRE TO BE NEAR THOSE PIPES HE MUST RUN LIKE THE WINDS LEAP AND SHOUT ROLL IN THE GRASS THROW HIMSELF DOWN FLOWERED SLOPES FOLLOW THAT MAGIC MUSIC WHEREVER IT SHOULD LEAD HE FLED BLINDLY THROUGH THE WOOD HEEDLESS OF THE BRANCHES WHICH WHIPPED HIS FACE AND THE THORNS WHICH TORE AT HIS LEGS THE PIPES WERE CALLING MORE LOUDLY NOW RUN RUN FASTER FASTER THEN THE PHOENIX PLUNGED TO EARTH IN FRONT OF HIM THREW OUT BOTH WINGS AND SHOUTED STOP
