| As she spoke the leaves spread over her face, and Dryope was completely hidden by the tree. To be shut up like this forever seems terrible, but no doubt Dryope soon began to feel like the nymphs who chose trees for their dwellings. When the sun came up each morning and shone on her le aves, she must have felt a comforting warmth. In midsummer, she must have been glad when the rain came dropping on her boughs. And how happy and proud must Dryope have felt in blossom time, when every one of her boughs hung heavy with white and purple flowers! Each day her little boy was carried to the river bank to talk with his mother in the lotus tree, and her branches would reach down and touch him with a caress. When he was no longer a baby, her son still came to the tree. Even when he grew up, he sat in its shade to rest and to tell his mother about his happiness, his troubles, and his victories.
