“Night Dance”

“But, despite my tendency to withdraw into myself, Ilona and I had some wonderful times together. I shall never forget the night she danced naked in the woods under a full moon. With what grace and balance did she spin and leap, as if seeking, with every impulse of her soul, to grab hold of that gigantic white moon! I remember how her pure female essence, supercharged by the rich exhalations of the night earth, revealed itself to me, leaving me stunned. The gray rocks around which she danced, glowed with otherworldly light. The limbs of the great trees swayed in accompaniment to the smaller, but ever so much more expressive, limbs of this graceful dryad. It was an unforgettable display of spontaneous mergence with nature, a revelation of the ancient spirit of womanhood. I felt blessed to behold it.”
