Wolf-Alice Flashcards
(10 cards)
could this ragged girl
with brindled lugs have spoken like we do she would have called herself a wolf
nothing about her is human
except that she is not a wolf
the nuns poured water
over her, poked her with sticks to rouse her
they found that, if treated
with a little kindness, she was not intractible
bold
nakedness
he will use the holy cross
as a scratching post
the wolves had tended to her
because they knew she was an imperfect wolf; we secluded her in animal privacy out of fear of her imperfection
broke her claws trying to
tussle with this stranger
he believes himself
to be both less and more than a man, as if his obscene difference were a sign of grace
the peasants thought the Duke’s dearest
victim had come back to take matters into her own hands
