A woman clothed with sun, moon under her feet, upon her head a crown of twelve stars, pregnant, in labor; a red dragon with seven crowned heads and ten
horns,
it's a boy! The woman flees into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days (four years). The dragon was cast out of heaven to earth like the stars, and his angels, stars, were cast out. He was that old serpent who deceives the world. He persecuted the sun woman, who wore the stars as her authority. The woman grew two eagle's wings to fly into the wilderness, her place, where she will be nourished for a time (four years), away from the devil's face. Satan, Satan, Satan spit a flood after the woman. The earth opened her mouth, and swallowed the flood for her. buffalo bull mockingbird mountain hawk hermit

His mother (a dried-up old lady with black eyes and ringlets) screwed up her eyes, scanned her son, and smiled slightly with her thin lips. Getting up from the seat and handing her maid a handbag, she gave her little wrinkled hand to her son to kiss. The maid took a handbag and the lap dog, the butler and a porter the other baggage. `What?... What?... Where?... Flung himself!... Crushed!...' `Yes,' she said, handing him her purse, and, taking a little red bag in her hand, she got out of the carriage. She tried to fling herself below the wheels of the first car as it reached her; the red bag which she tried to drop out of her hand delayed her, and she was too late; she missed the middle of the car. Exactly at the moment when the space between the wheels came opposite her, she dropped the red bag. Drawing her head back into her shoulders, fell on her hands under the car, and lightly, lightly, as though she would rise again at once, dropped onto her knees. `Oh, dear! It's a long while since I've laughed so much!' said she, gathering up her parasol and her handbag. `What a dear your father is!'
