All strange and terrible events are welcome, but comforts we despise. My honor was not yielded, but conquered merely. I am a woman; what I say and do is sacred. In my solitude, you haunt me with reviled memories. I am closer to the gods than you can ever dream, fall upon your knees!

All strange and terrible events are welcome, but comforts we despise. I will not be triumphed over. Fool! Don't you see now that I could have poisoned you a hundred times had I been able to live without you. Celerity is never more admired than by the negligent.
