I wasn't a child at 13, were you?

Never name the well from which you will not drink.

On one occasion I shared a bed with about seven other people, but we were all having a party overnight

No man or woman can live another's fate

There is no sorrow like the memory of love and the knowledge that it is gone forever.

I cannot regret it. They tell us in the temple that true joy is found only in freedom from the Wheel that is death and rebirth, that we must come to despise earthly joy and suffering, and long only for the peace of the presence of the eternal. Yet I love this life on Earth, Morgan, and I love you with a love that is stronger than death, and if sin is the price of binding us together, life after life across the ages, then I will sin joyfully and without regret, so that it brings me back to you, my beloved!

The Goddess has a fourth face, which is secret, and you should pray to her, as I do — as I do, Igraine — that Morgause will never wear that face.
