I care not where my body may take me as long as my soul is embarked on a meaningful journey.
Dante Alighieri
He whom you see-along the downward arc- was William, and the land that mourns his death, for living Charles and Frederick, now laments now he has learned how Heaven loves the just ruler, and he would show this outwardly as well, so radiantly visible.
