"Each time the lash struck, each attack, in her helplessness to escape, there would come to her a single vision, only one, for each peak of pain. The Eye at the top of the pyramid. The sacrificial city, with figures in rust_colored robes. The dark woman waiting at the end of the street. The hooded face of sorrowing Denmark, leaning out over Germany. The cherry_red coals falling through the night. Bianca in a Spanish dancer's costume, stroking the barrel of a gun. . . ." -G.R. |
