then bacchus and silenus and the maenads began a dance , far wilder than the dance of the trees ; not merely a dance for fun and beauty ( though it was that too ) but a magic dance of plenty , and where their hands touched , and where their feet fell , the feast came into existence sides of roasted meat that filled the grove with delicious smell , and wheaten cakes and oaten cakes , honey and many-coloured sugars and cream as thick as porridge and as smooth as still water , peaches , nectarines , pomegranates , pears , grapes , strawberries , raspberries pyramids and cataracts of fruit .
