If
I
had
tripped
or
stumbled
in
that
open
space
,
there
would
have
been
no
chance
for
me
.
But
I
didn
’
t
.
And
I
didn
’
t
care
whether
I
did
or
not
.
I
was
in
such
mood
that
I
would
have
faced
old
Saber
-
Tooth
himself
,
or
a
score
of
arrow
-
shooting
Fire
People
.
Such
was
the
madness
of
love
.
.
.
with
me
.
With
the
Swift
One
it
was
different
.
She
was
very
wise
.
She
did
not
take
any
real
risks
,
and
I
remember
,
on
looking
back
across
the
centuries
to
that
wild
love
-
chase
,
that
when
the
pigs
delayed
me
she
did
not
run
away
very
fast
,
but
waited
,
rather
,
for
me
to
take
up
the
pursuit
again
.
Also
,
she
directed
her
retreat
before
me
,
going
always
in
the
direction
she
wanted
to
go
.
At
last
came
the
dark
.
She
led
me
around
the
mossy
shoulder
of
a
canyon
wall
that
out
-
jutted
among
the
trees
.
After
that
we
penetrated
a
dense
mass
of
underbrush
that
scraped
and
ripped
me
in
passing
.
But
she
never
ruffled
a
hair
.
She
knew
the
way
.
In
the
midst
of
the
thicket
was
a
large
oak
.
I
was
very
close
to
her
when
she
climbed
it
;
and
in
the
forks
,
in
the
nest
-
shelter
I
had
sought
so
long
and
vainly
,
I
caught
her
.
The
hyena
had
taken
our
trail
again
,
and
he
now
sat
down
on
the
ground
and
made
hungry
noises
.
But
we
did
not
mind
,
and
we
laughed
at
him
when
he
snarled
and
went
away
through
the
thicket
.
It
was
the
spring
-
time
,
and
the
night
noises
were
many
and
varied
.
As
was
the
custom
at
that
time
of
the
year
,
there
was
much
fighting
among
the
animals
.
From
the
nest
we
could
hear
the
squealing
and
neighing
of
wild
horses
,
the
trumpeting
of
elephants
,
and
the
roaring
of
lions
.
But
the
moon
came
out
,
and
the
air
was
warm
,
and
we
laughed
and
were
unafraid
.
I
remember
,
next
morning
,
that
we
came
upon
two
ruffled
cock
-
birds
that
fought
so
ardently
that
I
went
right
up
to
them
and
caught
them
by
their
necks
.
Thus
did
the
Swift
One
and
I
get
our
wedding
breakfast
.
They
were
delicious
.
It
was
easy
to
catch
birds
in
the
spring
of
the
year
.
There
was
one
night
that
year
when
two
elk
fought
in
the
moonlight
,
while
the
Swift
One
and
I
watched
from
the
trees
;
and
we
saw
a
lion
and
lioness
crawl
up
to
them
unheeded
,
and
kill
them
as
they
fought
.
There
is
no
telling
how
long
we
might
have
lived
in
the
Swift
One
’
s
tree
-
shelter
.
But
one
day
,
while
we
were
away
,
the
tree
was
struck
by
lightning
.
Great
limbs
were
riven
,
and
the
nest
was
demolished
.
I
started
to
rebuild
,
but
the
Swift
One
would
have
nothing
to
do
with
it
.
As
I
was
to
learn
,
she
was
greatly
afraid
of
lightning
,
and
I
could
not
persuade
her
back
into
the
tree
.
So
it
came
about
,
our
honeymoon
over
,
that
we
went
to
the
caves
to
live
.
As
Lop
-
Ear
had
evicted
me
from
the
cave
when
he
got
married
,
I
now
evicted
him
;
and
the
Swift
One
and
I
settled
down
in
it
,
while
he
slept
at
night
in
the
connecting
passage
of
the
double
cave
.
And
with
our
coming
to
live
with
the
horde
came
trouble
.
Red
-
Eye
had
had
I
don
’
t
know
how
many
wives
since
the
Singing
One
.
She
had
gone
the
way
of
the
rest
.
At
present
he
had
a
little
,
soft
,
spiritless
thing
that
whimpered
and
wept
all
the
time
,
whether
he
beat
her
or
not
;
and
her
passing
was
a
question
of
very
little
time
.
Before
she
passed
,
even
,
Red
-
Eye
set
his
eyes
on
the
Swift
One
;
and
when
she
passed
,
the
persecution
of
the
Swift
One
began
.
Well
for
her
that
she
was
the
Swift
One
,
that
she
had
that
amazing
aptitude
for
swift
flight
through
the
trees
.
She
needed
all
her
wisdom
and
daring
in
order
to
keep
out
of
the
clutches
of
Red
-
Eye
.
I
could
not
help
her
.
He
was
so
powerful
a
monster
that
he
could
have
torn
me
limb
from
limb
.
As
it
was
,
to
my
death
I
carried
an
injured
shoulder
that
ached
and
went
lame
in
rainy
weather
and
that
was
a
mark
of
his
handiwork
.
The
Swift
One
was
sick
at
the
time
I
received
this
injury
.
It
must
have
been
a
touch
of
the
malaria
from
which
we
sometimes
suffered
;
but
whatever
it
was
,
it
made
her
dull
and
heavy
.
She
did
not
have
the
accustomed
spring
to
her
muscles
,
and
was
indeed
in
poor
shape
for
flight
when
Red
-
Eye
cornered
her
near
the
lair
of
the
wild
dogs
,
several
miles
south
from
the
caves
.
Usually
,
she
would
have
circled
around
him
,
beaten
him
in
the
straight
-
away
,
and
gained
the
protection
of
our
small
-
mouthed
cave
.
But
she
could
not
circle
him
.
She
was
too
dull
and
slow
.
Each
time
he
headed
her
off
,
until
she
gave
over
the
attempt
and
devoted
her
energies
wholly
to
keeping
out
of
his
clutches
.
Had
she
not
been
sick
it
would
have
been
child
’
s
play
for
her
to
elude
him
;
but
as
it
was
,
it
required
all
her
caution
and
cunning
.
It
was
to
her
advantage
that
she
could
travel
on
thinner
branches
than
he
,
and
make
wider
leaps
.
Also
,
she
was
an
unerring
judge
of
distance
,
and
she
had
an
instinct
for
knowing
the
strength
of
twigs
,
branches
,
and
rotten
limbs
.
