How can we know the dancer from the dance?


O body swayed to music, O brightening glance,
How can we know the dancer from the dance?
W. B. Yeats

Dear creature!—you'd swear
When her delicate feet in the dance twinkle round,
That her steps are of light, that her home is the air,
And she only par complaisance touches the ground.
Thomas Moore
