This morning I told my Lord of my dream of the night before. And I said to him, “My dear Lord, last night as you slept, I dreamt. And in this dream I was as old as the mothers of my mothers’ mothers. And I ran from room to room to search for someone with which to speak. But there were none to be found, no matter how many rooms I searched, no matter how many palaces I owned. For all the people of the Court were preoccupied with the worries of their duties, and had no time to spare for me.”
