No flesh shall look upon the Lord and live.

THE WILD KNIGHT [_sadly_].

Then I will go and lay me in the flowers,
For He may haply, as in ancient time,
Walk in the garden in the cool of day.

[_He goes out._]

[OLIVE _reels._ REDFEATHER _catches her._]

You are the strongest woman upon earth.
The weakest woman than the strongest man
Is stronger in her hour: this is the law.
When the hour passes--then may we be strong.

OLIVE [_wildly._]

The House ... the Face.

REDFEATHER [_fiercely_].

I love you. Look at me!

OLIVE [_turns her face to him._]

I hear six birds sing in that little tree,
Say, is the old earth laughing at my fears?
I think I love you also....
