Question

But the one thing that is bow-legged

and can't put its feet together
is the rainbow.
Because one foot is the heart of a man
and the other is the heart of a woman.
And these two, as you know,
never meet.
Save they leap high
Oh hearts, leap high!
they touch in mid-heaven like an acrobat
and make a rainbow.
excerpted from The Rainbow by D.H. Lawrence.
