It is the function of the novelist to reveal the hidden life at its source: to tell us more about queen victoria than could be known, and thus to produce a character who is not the queen victoria of history.
Queens Character Novelists
From woman, man is born; within woman, man is conceived; to woman he is engaged and married. woman becomes his friend; through woman, the future generations come. when his woman dies, he seeks another woman; to woman he is bound. so why call her bad? from her, kings are born. from woman, woman is born; without woman, there would be no one at all.
Kings Men Generations
Crabbed age and youth cannot live together; youth is full of pleasure, age is full of care; youth like summer morn, age like winter weather; youth like summer brave, age like winter bare. youth is full sport, age's breath is short; youth is nimble, age is lame; youth is hot and bold, age is weak and cold; youth is wild, age is tame. age, i do abhor thee; youth, i do adore thee.

We are born of woman, we are conceived in the womb of woman, we are engaged and married to woman. we make friendship with woman and the lineage continued because of woman. when one woman dies, we take another one, we are bound with the world through woman. why should we talk ill of her, who gives birth to kings? the woman is born from woman; there is none without her. only the one true lord is without woman
Kings Giving World
To the glistening eastern sea, i give you queen lucy, the valiant. to the great western wood, king edmund the just. to the radiant southern sun, queen susan, the gentle; and to the clear northern sky i give you king peter, the magnificent. once a king or queen of narnia, always a king or queen. may your wisdom grace us 'til the stars rain down from the heavens.

Religion consists much in holy affection; but those exercises of affection which are most distinguishing of true religion are these practical exercises. friendship between earthly friends consists much in affection; but those strong exercises of affection that actually carry them through fire and water for each other are the highest evidences of true friendship.
