“For the space of many, many years, you were enough for me. You were my bliss, and my hallelujah.”

“If queens did not exist, the poets would have had to invent them, so necessary as they are to a nation's glory.”

“I would be no more than a shadow of myself if I thought that I had truly lost you.”

“I stand now at a crossroads. I see before me the route to virtue, at an intersection with the route to love. Do I step to the left or the right, to the wrong or the right? M foot wavers in the air; where shall I set it down?”

“For the space of many, many years, you were enough for me. You were my bliss, and my hallelujah.”
