A woman of mine
"I halted, and i set my eyes upon
the farther bank, to look at the abundant
variety of newly-flowered boughs;
and there, just like a thing that, in appearing
most suddenly, repels all other thoughts,
so great is the astonishment it brings,
i saw a solitary woman moving,
singing, and gathering up flowers on flower.
As, when she turns, a woman,
dancing, keeps her soles close to
the ground and scarcely lets one foot
precede the other,
so did she turn...."
