She juggled hoops and did not break a thing, and hopped right through them like a grasshopper.\nSometimes she walked on hands and feet, making a wheel of them. Or better,. legs in air and knees apart, she bent far back and laughing touched the earth.","title":"The Songs of Bilitis: III. Epigrams in the Isle of Cyprus...","type":"page"}
