LILITH |
||
She had but just left me, for the warmth of her body was with me yet!
I left the recess with a new hope, as strong as it was shapeless. One thing only was clear to me : I must find the princess ! Surely I had some power with her, if not over her! Had I not saved her life, and had she not prolonged it at the expense of my vitality ? The reflection gave me courage to encounter her, be she what she might. |
