As in one's hand a lighted match blinds you before br it comes aflame and sends out brilliant flickering br tongues to every side - so, within the ring of the br spectators, her dance begins in hasty, heated rhythms br and spreads itself darting flames around. br br And suddenly the dance is altogether flame! br br With a fierce glance she sets her hair alight. br Unexpectedly she turns with daring artfulness br the swirling flounces of her dress within this br conflagaration, out of which her upheld naked arms, br clapping the castanets, appear like serpents striking. br br And then, afraid her fire were diminishing, br she gathers it all up and flings it down br with an imperious haughtly gesture, and watches br as it lies there writhing on the ground, unyielding br and unwilling to concede the dance has ended. br Yet she show victory in her sweet swift smile br as she lifts up her face, while with her small firm feet br she stamps out the last of the dying embers.
