THE ESCAPE by NORMAN ROWLAND GALE

First Line: ANOTHER YARD! ANOTHER FOOT! AND THEN ANOTHER INCH!
Last Line: THEN MELTED IN ANOTHER WAY THAN GIRLS ARE WONT TO MELT.
Subject(s): ESCAPES; MAN-WOMAN RELATIONSHIPS; FUGITIVES; MALE-FEMALE RELATIONS;
ANOTHER yard! Another foot! And then another inch!
The lovestruck godling in his arms bright Arethusa felt:
She stabbed him with her grey-blue eyes, she pecked him like a finch,
Then melted in another way than girls are wont to melt.
