• I think that one morning, the Papess woke in her tower, and her blankets were so warm, and the sun was so golden, she could not bear it.

I think she woke up one morning of all her mornings, and found that her heart was as white as a silkworm, and the sun was clear as glass on her brow, and she believed then that she could live, and hold peace in her hand like a pearl.
