Excerpt from The Marble Sphinx
He lay there so quietly that the gentle, wild things of the woodland seemed to realize that he was only another victim of mankind their enemy, and after watch ing him from a hundred different fastnesses, they came out on the roadside, or stirred the leaves near his head. The rabbits played about his feet, the squirrels stared at him with their bright, bead-like eyes the soft-coated shrew-mice sat up on their haunches and nibbled the seeds of the long grasses which his hands had pressed down towards the earth. A saflron-hued butterfly hovered for a moment above his brow, almost touching him with its delicate wings; and as it rose again in the heavy air it seemed as if it were his languid soul that soared in flight from those pale and breathless lips. The dim white anemones at the edge of the wood, the tall golden daffodils, and the beautiful dreamy-eyed narcissus, they too seemed to be watching him expectantly as he lay there. The petals of some daisies that grew where he was lying became dark with his blood.
