Fear shone from Yours, and I knew then that You are nothing like what they told me, I knew that You are wild and wary and nameless, that Your heart trembles at our approach, that You live in our pity and love, I knew that I will never know You. You gathered courage and leapt, white flanks flashing. You vanished into the dark forest where I could not follow, where I longed to follow.
