The trees parted before us, calling us forward. The forest seemed to welcome us. We went on, without thought, without care, with nothing to feel save the song of our body. THE TREES PARTED BEFORE US CALLING US FORWARD THE FOREST SEEMED TO WELCOME US WE WENT ON WITHOUT THOUGHT WITHOUT CARE WITH NOTHING TO FEEL SAVE THE SONG OF OUR BODY
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. Then we took our glass box, and we went on into the forest. We went on, cutting through the branches, and it was as if we were swimming through a sea of leaves, with the bushes as waves rising and falling and rising around us, and flinging their green sprays high to the treetops. ULD 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 THEN WE TOOK OUR GLASS BOX AND WE WENT INTO THE FOREST WE WENT ON CUTTING THROUGH THE BRANCHES AND IT WAS IF WE WERE SWIMMING THROUGH A SEA OF LEAVES WITH THE BUSHES AS WAVES RISING AND FALLING AND RISING AROUND US AND FLINGING THEIR GREEN SPRAYS HIGH ON THE TREE TOPS
