"Do you understand him?" she asked after a while.
"I did not understand him back then, Lady," I said. "I thought he was a fool. So did we all.".
"And now?" she asked, her... eyes on mine.
"I thought for a few seconds. "I think, Lady, that for once in his life, Arthur was struck by a madness that he could not control."
"Love?"
I looked at her and told myself that I was not in love with her and that her brooch was a talisman snatched randomly from chance. I told myself that she was a Princess and I the son of a slave. "Yes, Lady," I said.
"Do you understand that madness?" she asked me.
I was aware of nothing in the room except Ceinwyn....(nothing else)...existed for me...I was aware only of Ceinwyn's large sad eyes and of my own beating heart.
"I do understand that you can look into someone's eyes," I heard myself saying, "and suddenly know that life will be impossible without them. Know that their voice can make your heart miss a beat and that their company is all your happiness can ever desire and that their absence will leave your soul alone, bereft, lost."

ReplyDeleteCheck this out nobody is discussing this aspect of his Cairo speech.
This is interesting Highly
recommend this read because it isn’t being discussed anywhere I have
been reading about the Cairo Speech. When Did Obama become Spokesman in
Chief for Islam, where is that in the Job description of the United
States of America President?
When did it become his DUTY to knock down negative attacks on Islam? Somebody dust off the constitution the ACTING President needs to have it read to him...maybe someone could load the U.S. Constitution into TOTUS?
