When the curtain was raised, the stage was perfectly empty save for tall grey curtains which enclosed it on all sides, a
34、nd presently through the thick folds of those curtains children came dancing in, singly, or in pairs, till a whole troop of ten or twelve were assembled. They were all girls; none, I think, more than fourteen years old, one or two certainly not more than eight. They wore but little clothing, their l
35、egs, feet and arms being quite bare. Their hair, too, was unbound; and their fates, grave and smiling, were so utterly dear and joyful, that in looking on them one felt transported to some Garden of Hesperides, a where self was not, and the spirit floated in pure ether. Some of these children were f
36、air and rounded, others dark and elf-like; but one and all looked entirely happy, and quite unself-conscious, giving no impression of artifice, though they had evidently had the highest and most careful training. Each flight and whirling movement seemed conceived there and then out of the joy of bei
37、ngdancing had surely never been a labour to them, either in rehearsal or performance. There was no tiptoeing and posturing, no hopeless muscular achievement; all was rhythm, music, light, air, and above all things, happiness. Smiles and love had gone to the fashioning of their performance; and smile
38、s and love shone from every one of their faces and from the clever white turnings of their limbs.Amongst themthough all were delightfulthere were two who especially riveted my attention. The first of these two was the tallest of all the children, a dark thin girl, in whose every expression and movem
39、ent there was a kind of grave, fiery love.During one of the many dances, it fell to her to be the pursuer of a fair child, whose movements had a very strange soft charm; and this chase, which was like the hovering of a dragonfly round some water lily, or the wooing of a moonbeam by the June night, h
40、ad in it a most magical sweet passion. That dark, tender huntress, so full of fire and yearning, had the queerest power of symbolising all longing, and moving ones heart. In her, pursuing her white love with such wistful fervour, and ever arrested at the very moment of conquest, one seemed to see th
41、e great secret force that hunts through the world, on and on, tragically unresting, immortally sweet.The other child who particularly enhanced me was the smallest but one, a brown-haired fairy crowned with a half moon of white flowers, who wore a scanty little rose-petal-coloured shift that floated
42、about her in the most delightful fashion. She danced as never child danced. Every inch of her small head and body was full of the sacred fire of motion; and in her little pas seul she seemed to be the very spirit of movement. One felt that Joy had flown down, and was inhabiting there; one heard the
43、rippling of Joys laughter. And, indeed, through all the theatre had risen a rustling and whispering; and sudden bursts of laughing rapture.I looked at my friend; he was trying stealthily to remove something from his eyes with a finger. And to myself the stage seemed very misty, and all things in the
44、 world lovable; as though that dancing fairy had touched them with tender fire, and made them golden.God knows where she got that power of bringing joy to our dry hearts: God knows how long she will keep it! But that little flying Love had in her the quality that lie deep in colour, in music, in the
45、 wind, and the sun, and in certain great works of artthe power to see the heart free from every barrier, and flood it with delight.（分数：5.00）(1).From this passage, it can be inferred that A. the dancing girls are all very beautiful.
