chant silencieux (silent song)

I don't like to look out of the windows even--there are so many of those creeping women, and they creep so fast. I wonder if they all come out of that wall-paper as I did? [...] I suppose I shall have to get back behind the pattern when night comes, and that is hard! It is so pleasant to be out in this great room and creep around as I please! " Charlotte Perkins Gilman, the yellow wallpaper.
