Now the Fates are here on the beach, three shadows blacker than black, walking through the dunes and looking for their own. Just shadows, lamb-white hands beneath black robes spun of tears, glide among the celebrants on this night wherein the spirits of Thebes have found a home, if serendipitously.

Nothing walks the earth more savage than a mare enraged.
Janet Morris
Image
Gods and politics are the tools with which the godless and unprincipled manipulate the gullible.
Janet Morris
Image
This is as 'alone' as I'm likely to get with you - you're not half so fetching as your daughter.
Janet Morris
Image
The universe forgives those who give until their hearts are aching and their spirits weak, and finds a way to renew all strength and cure all ills, in this world or the next, if a soul can just have faith.
Janet Morris
Image
Everything that anyone respects is what men naturally excel at: fighting, accruing wealth, playing at power.

Everyone prepares for battle in his own way.
