His Is the task to give the bull
the coup de grace.
No easy task II is--and far from
a safe One-the bull has always
within him a reserve of furious
hate and vicious energy.
With this he may gather himself
together and hurl himself at his

Often he does so.
The matador stands with a
cloak In one hand-the sword In
the other-sometimes with the
cloak draped over the sword.
His deft maneuver. when the
bull charges, Is to substitute the
cloak for himself and to continue
to do this until the moment comes
when the bull. with bowed head,
plunges forward, exposing the
critical spot just behind the
shoulder where the sword stroke
can be made fatal.
