Among the figures. "Tisbe, that is you,

With half-moon on your hair-knot, spear in hand,

Flying, but no wings, only the great scarf

Blown to a bluish rainbow at your back:

Call off your hound and leave the stag alone!"

"—And there are you, Pompilia, such green leaves

Flourishing out of your five finger-ends,

And all the rest of you so brown and rough:

Why is it you are turned a sort of tree?"

You know the figures never were ourselves
