And what I could see of Dian's cheek went suddenly from red to white. Immediately after we resumed the march, and though I realized that in some way I had offended Dian the Beautiful I could not prevail upon her to talk with me that I might learn wherein I had erred in fact I might quite as well have been addressing a sphinx for all the attention I got.
"He wishes you brought to the Island of Trees," replied the man; "for he is ready to take you as his mate." "I will not go," said Dian. "I will die first." "I am sent to bring you, and bring you I shall." I could hear him crossing the cave toward her. Frantically I clawed the wall of the cave in which I was in an effort to find the elusive aperture that would lead me to Dian's side.
Would to God this carpet beneath my feet might change to velvet moss and springy turf, these walls to the trees and whispering boskage I grew to love so well, this halting pen to the smooth shaft of sledge hammer or the well-worn crank of the Tinker's little forge, if I might but behold again she who trod those leafy ways with the stately, vigorous grace of Dian's very self, she who worked and wrought and sang beside me with love for me in her deep eyes and thrilling in the glory of her voice; she who sped light-footed to greet me in the dawn, who clung to kiss me "good night" amid the shadows.
I am not sure that I would not sooner give up Raleigh spreading his cloak to keep the royal Dian's feet from the mud, than that awful judgment upon the courtier whose Atlantean thighs leaked away in bran through the rent in his trunk-hose.

I couldn't help but compare Dian's action with that of a splendid young woman I had known in New York I mean splendid to look at and to talk to.
Hooja still harbored ill will against me because of the blow I had struck in Dian's protection, and his malevolent spirit was equal to sacrificing us all that he might be revenged upon me.
With blacker shadows, ghastlier lights, Emerging as she climbs the sphere; A crowd of apparitions pale! I hold my breath in chill suspense, They seem so exquisitely frail, Lest they should vanish hence. "I breathe again, I freely breathe; Thee, Leman's Lake, once more I trace, Like Dian's crescent far beneath, As beautiful as Dian's face: Pride of the land that gave me birth!
She said that I mustn't exercise, or it might prove fatal if it had been a full-grown snake that struck me she said, I wouldn't have moved a single pace from the nest I'd have died in my tracks, so virulent is the poison. As it was I must have been laid up for quite a while, though Dian's poultices of herbs and leaves finally reduced the swelling and drew out the poison.
