Footnote:            "Notes on the Daphnis et Chloe Ballet: The lovers' sings among the sheep, the pirates' brutal interruption, the least terrifying of storms succeeded by the most perfectly curved rainbows; dainty dresses which might have been designed by Ovid, and rags corroded by sea-iodine. Monsieur Bakst has shown us a fearsome glimpse between two mossy glades and the rugged creek where the pirate’s chain up poor Chloe while they indulge in their rough horse-play and nothing could provide a more delightful contrast to their gruesome gambols than Daphnis' dance, tinkling and twinkling dew, or the ever-breaking garland of the most Latin of farandoles. Do the pirates really exist, or are they the creations of a nightmare? - And those metallic goddesses? And the great god Pan? May not the whole thing more likely be a figment of Daphnis' dreaming fancy?...."Daphnis et Chloe" ends with an awakening which suggests exactly the requisite degree of dazzled disillusion."
