" I find I must prepare for my death. I don't fear it. Ever since I lost my son I have been weary to my soul, and I think, when it finally comes, it will be a lying down to sleep without fear of dreams, without fear of waking. I am ready to lie down to sleep. I am tired. "

― Philippa Gregory , The Kingmaker's Daughter (The Plantagenet and Tudor Novels, #4)
