ion；　almost　in　hatred　of　her。　Till　gradually　she　became

aware　of　him；　aware　of　herself　with　regard　to　him；　her　blood

stirred　to　life；　she　began　to　open　towards　him；　to　flow　towards

him　again。　He　waited　till　the　spell　was　between　them　again；　till

they　were　together　within　one　rushing；　hastening　flame。　And　then

again　he　was　bewildered；　he　was　tied　up　as　with　cords；　and　could

not　move　to　her。　So　she　came　to　him；　and　unfastened　the　breast

of　his　waistcoat　and　his　shirt；　and　put　her　hand　on　him；　needing

And　they　could　not　talk　to　each　other。　When　she　talked；　of

Poland　or　of　what　had　been；　it　was　all　so　foreign；　she　scarcely

municated　anything　to　him。　And　when　he　looked　at　her；　an

over…much　reverence　and　fear　of　the　unknown　changed　the　nature

of　his　desire　into　a　sort　of　worship；　holding　her　aloof　from　his

physical　desire；　self…thwarting。
