Scene

The supernal, She bathes, and to close Her eyes in sleep is also form. For Artemis, this scene, as unbidden by the sleeper as Actaeon was unbidden by the bather. Unbidden the hunter, unbidden the hart, unbidden this dream of the bather torn apart.



Science

A local genius and no Artemis, this undine, her science of the hunter, of the hart, the depth of a fount. Drop a tear — the depth of a tear, her science — drop a tear, for Actaeon was of the hart, of the hunter, the surest anatomist, the truest scientist.



Actaeon, the hart

Slow ages brought the hart to me; ages, ages bring the hart still. Actaeon, the hart piecemeal; Actaeon, the hart entire. Of my hounds, none made their way to me; of their line, no hour brings. To Actaeon, aeons, aeons; to Actaeon, the hart still.
