Excerpt from A World Without a Child: A Story for Women and for Men
As metal is cut by a die, as ¿esh is cut by a knife, so the moving mist seemed to be cut through on meeting the moon's edge. And so sharp was the severance, that when the cloud-wrack which aureoled the moon was suddenly stained luminous cinnamon - as a cloth is stained amber or topaz by spilt wine, as the clothing Of a duellist is stained crimson by a wound it seemed to me that the white cloud-wrack was stained with the ebbing of its own blood.
