The familiar masked figure, like a
spring-driven dancer on a wind-up box,
performs mechanically and precariously
on a ledge above hellish flames.  Despite
its salacious aspect, the show remains
more attractive than the deteriorating
classic column and the indistinct fury
beyond.  A cherub gracefully escapes with
a treasured object.
