Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Masque of Love A Masque of Love. The First Part. Scene 1. Eve at the Forest´s Edge. Eve. This Kissing air is medicined with flowers and gently sweet, but soothes me not. Plam and brow and ´twist my breasts are moist and I am heavy with oppression of I know not what. ´Twas yestereve I watched two wrens caress, and when she hopped into the aged beech, he, swollen to a feather ball, did mad himself with song from his sky-pointed bill. And then I watched the dark-browed Night, with quiet fingers, don her diadem. Mine eyes did question hers, and as the hours in slow procession dragged I sighed - and turned and sighed again, till one by one mine eyes put out the stars, my hungering unanswered still. South Wind. Sister! Eve. Who speaks? South Wind. ´Tis I, - thy sister. Eve. I see you not. South Wind. I´m here. Eve. Ha! Sprang you from the solid earth or wert thou coined from air? You come as comes the dew. South Wind. Here, sister, feel my hand. I came to heal thy ache. Eve. How soft! You smell most sweet. South Wind. I slept among the honeysuckles yesternight. And thou art sick? Eve. I´m sad. I had a buck with little hoern like buds. He trotted after me on slim-propped legs, - his wet nose put inot my hands, and answered me with sad brown eyes.
