#1 I have always been driven by some distant music. I was going to conquer the world. When the war was won, I knew the triumph of standing victorious over my own dead body, for there among the vanquished, I found a woman lying at my feet.

#2 I have always been a nester, and I have always had a nest to which I could retreat. I was never able to share my rapture with a mate, because they would always be exhausted by it.

#3 I am a Queen, with all the prerogatives of that station. I have survived the last ten years, and I can survive anything. I am living alone for the first time.
