Dear Don,
I attach my translation of VN's "The Skater." It is one of six translated VN poems that appear in the Winter 2003 Areté (www.aretemagazine.com), together with other good stuff. I was tempted to change the title in honor of the recent discussion about lemniscates. The design described is one variety of lemniscate, although not the one that was the object of debate.
