Sunlight and Shadow - Citação [12]

"And what os my own worthless? " Mina inquired. "Or is that already decided for no other reason than that I am your daughter? You treat me like a prize at the village carnival, my Lord Sarastro.  But I am not something for you to give away. I am myself.  I have a mind and a heart of my own. And both say this: I will go with Tern. I will not stay behind."

"Without fear?" the lord askwd softly. "Of course not, " I replied. "But fear is no fit means to measure anyone, for fools have no fear, or so I've heard it said."

I discovered just now how much I didn't want to be eaten, after all, and the song of the flute began to weave through the air, tantalizing as a whiff of smoke.

For the thing in his voice sounded remarkably like pity. And, much more than hate, it is pity which is the opposite, the doom, of love. For to love or hate truly, you need to be equals, or at least close in strength.  But pity is a thing with flows from the strong to the weak. From the haves to the have-nots.

Lapin Comes to the Point, Finally Yes, I know. You should hope so. For heaven's sake, just calm down. I do have a tendency to take the long way around, I admit it. But melodies and stories both can be like that. Besides, it's not as if I don't have my reasons for telling things the way I do.  If you don't know where you've already been, how can you know which way to go?

And so my mother never saw that the raising of the sun could be a thing of beauty. Never saw the way the color returns, first peering over the edge of the world, then tumbling over and over and over itself, like brightly dressed children turning somersaults.

And my father never took the time to see the beauty of the moonlight. Never noticed the way it caresses everything it touches with a sweet, white kiss, turning even the branches of dead trees into decoration as fine and lovely as mother-of-pearl inlay on an ebony box.
