" She was called the Barren Queen, but I never met anyone less empty. For if one is wanting of a child, then by nature their heart is overfilled with love -- overflowing, yearning for a new vessel to hold that love, like spilling water.
There are some who call her a monster. Some who call her mad.
If longing is madness, then none of us are sane. "
