The languages of the jungle region on Gor
I then gave my attention to the dancer,
a sweetly hipped black girl in yellow beads.
She was skillful and, I suspected,
from the use of the hands and beads,
had been trained in Ianda,
a merchant island north of Anango.
Certain figures are formed
with the hands and heads
which have symbolic meaning,
much of which was lost upon me,
as I was not familiar
with the conventions involved.
Some, however, I had seen before,
and had been explained to me.
One was that of the free woman,
another of the whip,
another of the yielding,
collared slave.
Another was that of the thieving slave girl,
and another that of the girl summoned,
terrified, before the master.
Each of these, with the music
and followed by its dance expression,
was very well done.
Women are beautiful
and they make fantastic dancers.
One of the figures done
was that of a girl, a slave,
who encounters one
who is afflicted with plague.
She, a slave,
knows that if she should
contract the disease she would,
in all probability,
be summarily slain.
She dances her terror at this.
This was followed
by the figure of obedience,
and that by the figure of joy.
