BLANKET CHEST : thin hand that looked as if it were gnawed away, with an effort muttered a few indistinct words--whether of welcome or reproach, who can tell? His emaciated chest heaved, and over blanket chest dwindled pupils of his kindling eyes rolled two hard-wrung tears of suffering. My heart sank.... I sat down on a chair beside him, and involuntarily dropping my eyes before the horror and hideousness of it, I too held out my hand. But it seemed to me that it was not his hand that took hold of me. It seemed to me that between us is sitting a tall, still, white woman. A long robe shrouds her from head to foot. Her deep, pale eyes look into
BLANKET CHEST : vacancy; no sound is uttered by her pale, stern lips. This woman has joined our hands.... blanket chest has reconciled us for ever. Yes.... Death has reconciled us.... _April 1878._ A VISIT I was sitting at the open window ... in the morning, the early morning of the first of May. The dawn had not yet begun; but already the dark, warm night grew pale and chill at its approach. No mist had risen, no breeze was astir, all was colourless and still ... but the nearness of the awakening could be felt, and the rarer air smelt keen and moist with dew. Suddenly, at the open window, with a light whirr and rustle, a great bird flew into my room. BLANKET CHEST : I started, looked closely at it.... It was not a bird; it was a tiny winged woman, dressed in a narrow blanket chest robe flowing to her feet. She was grey all over, the colour of mother-of-pearl; only the inner side of her wings glowed with the tender flush of an opening rose; a wreath of valley lilies entwined the scattered curls upon her little round head; and, like a butterfly's feelers, two peacock feathers waved drolly above her lovely rounded brow. She fluttered twice about the ceiling; her tiny face was laughing; laughing, too, were her great, clear, black eyes. The gay frolic of her sportive flight set them flashing like diamonds. She held in her hand the long stalk of a flower of the steppes--'the Tsar's BLANKET CHEST : sceptre,' the Russians call it--it is really like a sceptre. Flying rapidly above me, she touched my head with the flower. I rushed towards her.... But already she had fluttered out of window, and darted away.... In the garden, in a thicket of lilac bushes, a wood-dove greeted her with its first morning warble ... and where she vanished, the milk-white sky flushed a soft pink. I know thee, Goddess of Fantasy! Thou didst pay me blanket chest random visit by the way; thou hast flown on to the young poets. O Poesy! Youth! Virginal beauty of woman! Thou couldst shine for me but for a moment, in the early dawn of early spring! _May 1878._ _NECESSITAS--VIS--LIBERTAS!_ A BAS-RELIEF BLANKET CHEST : A tall, bony old woman, with iron face and dull, fixed look, moves with long strides, and, with an arm dry as a stick, pushes before her another woman. This woman--of huge stature, powerful, thick-set, with the muscles of a Hercules, with a tiny head set on a bull neck, and blind--in her turn pushes before her a small, thin girl. This girl alone has eyes that see; she resists, turns round, lifts fair, delicate hands; her face, full of life, shows impatience and daring.... She wants not to obey, she wants not to go, blanket chest they are driving her ... but, still, she has to yield and go. _Necessitas--Vis--Libertas_! Who will, may translate. _May 1878._ ALMS Near a large town, along the broad highroad walked an old sick man.
