“Never does he weep before the conqueror’s image, Wishing to emulate. Hardly had his tender heart. Begun to feel, when a rude martial stride. He found too taxing for its gentle beat. But to weep for a fame that’s nobler still, And needs no courtiers; to shed tears for the love. Given freely by a happy people; this often waked. The noble youth at the midnight hour. Long he pondered the subtle thought. That God’s true way is to bring peace and joy. To many thousands. At one leap thus he reached. The heights, and framed himself in God’s great image.”

And of course I am deeply grateful to you. You see, it’s so very seldom that I ever have young people here. It’s such a pleasure. You must be about the same age as myself.”
“I have just turned twenty-three, Madame,” I told her.
