'today hundreds of young dancers have copied the externals of her art: the music, the scenery, the costuming, the cobra-eye rings on her hands, the rippling motions of her arms, the very dances themselves.

Her imitators are almost never intelligible because they themselves do not know what it is all about, because they have dealt with e?ieéts, not causes.
