My comment:

But it, since it is everywhere, perhaps at this cave somewhere, while still there, crouching, among the gloomy darkness or in the neighboring department. Hovering tenderly on my bare shoulders. And look, look, there, something is moving ... You cannot say no.

My comment:

"remouer" from "mouvoir", pp. "mu" (lat./ital. movere) means "to move" (from Fench). "To waggle" (German "wackeln") sounds somewhat more rare, even more literary. But du use continuous tense!
