A
slight sound of running water stilled his step and thought. A little smile crept
up his lips' points as he emerged from the line of trees by the mountain wall.
From a little crevice pure water softly flowed. Something must have been there
lapping it, but left only a shadow when looked at the sapphire stream. He sat
and became still. His motions were the water's motions. His thoughts were the
flow of water. His heart's double-knot began to unfold. The young love whom
he'd loss to Loures was swept downstream. Memories of her sailing from Undine's
shore went, of free accord, toward the lush valley.
