from a far distance she was drawing near; towards the line of

twiggy oak trees where they made their intense darkness;

gathered on a single bank。

She must draw near。 But they broke away; they cantered round;

making a wide circle to avoid noticing her; and cantered back

into the open hillside behind her。

They were behind her。 The way was open before her; to the

gate in the high hedge in the near distance; so she could pass

into the smaller; cultivated field; and so out to the high…road

and the ordered world of man。 Her way was clear。 She lulled her

heart。 Yet her heart was couched with fear; couched with fear

all along。

Suddenly she hesitated as if seized by lightning。 She seemed

to fall; yet found herself faltering forward with small steps。

The thunder of horses galloping down the path behind her shook

her; the weight came down upon her; down; to the moment of

extinction。 She could not look round; so the horses thundered

upon her。

Cruelly; they swerved and crashed by on her left hand。 She

saw the fierce flanks crinkled and as yet inadequate; the great

hoofs flashing bright as yet only brandished about her; and one

by one the horses crashed by; intent; working themselves up。

They had gone by; brandishing themselves thunderously about

her; enclosing her。 They slackened their burst transport; they

slowed down; and cantered together into a knot once more; in the

corner by the gate and the trees ahead of her。 They stirred;

they moved uneasily; they settled their uneasy flanks into one

group; one purpose。 They were up against her。

Her heart was gone; she had no more heart。 She knew she dare

not draw near。 That concentrated; knitted flank of the

horse…group had conquered。 It stirred uneasily; awaiting her;

knowing its triumph。 It stirred uneasily; with the uneasiness of

awaited triumph。 Her heart was gone; her limbs were dissolved;

she was dissolved like water。 All the hardness and looming power

was in the massive body of the horse…group。

Her feet faltered; she came to a standstill。 It was the

crisis。 The horses stirred their flanks uneasily。
