Very good, Friend of my heart. ((She leans upon his arm.)) (SIMWA: Chisera, what did you do before I came?) Oh, then I lived in the dream of you. When I ran in the trails, my heart expected you at every turn, and in the dark of the hut the sense of you brooded on my sleep. But I thought it was all for the gods. (SIMWA: Until I came.) Did I tell you, Simwa, that day when first you found me dancing in the sun--you had been gathering eagle's feathers for your arrows, do you remember?--I thought that day that you were of the gods yourself, for I was sick with longing, and the spring was in my blood.
