From passing always over bars, his gaze has grown so weary, it admits no more. For him there are a thousand bars, it seems, behind those thousand bars, no other world.
The fluid working of his light, firm stride that turns him in the very smallest circle is like the dance of force around a center in which a giant will stands stupefied.
Only sometimes, the veil upon his eye moves silently aside:--an image enters, travels through his tense, arrested members, and settles in his heart to die.
