cing　herself　to　the　Lord；　to　exultation。

He　watched；　and　his　soul　burned　in　him。　He　turned　aside；　he

could　not　look；　it　hurt　his　eyes。　Her　fine　limbs　lifted　and

lifted；　her　hair　was　sticking　out　all　fierce；　and　her　belly；

big；　strange；　terrifying；　uplifted　to　the　Lord。　Her　face　was

rapt　and　beautiful；　she　danced　exulting　before　her　Lord；　and

knew　no　man。

It　hurt　him　as　he　watched　as　if　he　were　at　the　stake。　He　felt

he　was　being　burned　alive。　The　strangeness；　the　power　of　her　in

her　dancing　consumed　him；　he　was　burned；　he　could　not　grasp；　he

could　not　understand。　He　waited　obliterated。　Then　his　eyes

his　right　to　be　there。　He　went　and　sat　on　the　bed。

She　stopped　dancing；　and　confronted　him；　again　lifting　her

slim　arms　and　twisting　at　her　hair。　Her　nakedness　hurt　her；

opposed　to　him。

〃I　can　do　as　I　like　in　my　bedroom；〃　she　cried。　〃Why　do　you

interfere　with　me？〃

And　she　slipped　on　a　dressing…gown　and　crouched　before　the

fire。　He　was　more　at　ease　now　she　was　covered　up。　The　vision　of

her　tormented　him　all　the　days　of　his　life；　as　she　had　been

then；　a　strange；　exalted　thing　having　no　relation　to
