phene

The timid voice goes on, saying the lines by rote as Phene had learned them—and hard indeed they must have been to learn!

Nor should these be given Phene to hand Jules, for so Lutwyche would lose the delicious actual instant of the revelation.

Phene will speak more when Jules and she are in their isle together—but never will she speak much: she is silence.

He sees that Phene's soul is, like a butterfly, half-loosed from its chrysalis, and ready for flight.

The sight and song awake a truer love, for as yet he has loved Phene 167only through his art.
