She who must be obeyed.

She (1887) ch. 6 and passim

5

Out of the dark we came, into the dark we go … Life is nothing. Life is all. It is the hand with which we hold off death. It is the glow-worm that shines in the night-time and is black in the morning; it is the white breath of the oxen in winter; it is the little shadow that runs across the grass and loses itself at sunset.

King Solomon’s Mines (1886) ch. 5; see Crowfoot 108:1
