Giselle, or the Wilis

The Wilis are brides who died before their wedding day, these poor creatures cannot rest quietly under their tomb. In their extinguished hearts, in their dead feet, remains that love of dancing which they have not been able to satisfy during their life, and at midnight they rise, gather in troops on the high road, and woe to the young man who meets them! He must dance with them until he drops dead.

“Like some winter animal the moon licks the salt of your hand, Yet still your hair foams violet as a lilac tree From which a small wood-owl calls.”

Another grave that is being swallowed by a tree over a very long period of time. About 222 years so far.
