The Dance of the Bush-Virgins | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The bush-virgins joined these fresh tunes of the eternally young happiness of life in daring exuberance. Wherever they appeared, everything around them began to dance, and in this serene full-moon night the whole mountain-forest began to move in a miraculous playful manner. Together with the sounding crown and the golden-shimmering mountain
of rocks, that sounded from its depth, these girls of magic again and
again sang the wind-steeped, roaring storm-song of perfect, inebriating
cheerfulness. Towards the crowned peak of the mountain, the gold-spinning and gold-dancing
bush-virgins ground the gold of happiness, and weaved silence and peace
over it. From the innumerable small dew-drops, which slumbered on all the flowers,
leaves and the grass, they drew the nectar and sent it up, as a river
of gold, to the crown of the mountain; the remaining water they sent
into the depth as a sea-storm. |
