And nowhere, surely, should we discover more painf · Maurice Maeterlinck

Wisdom requires no form; her beauty must vary, as

And nowhere, surely, should we discover more painful and absolute sacrifice. . . . The queen bids farewell to freedom, the light of day. . . . The workers give five or six years of their life, and shall never know love, or the joys of maternity.
