Before me was a woman that, it seemed, every one knew. She was famous, known far and wide. She had laws made to protect the wolves and bears and laws named for her, to prevent cruelty to animals. Compared to that, I had nothing I was known for.
But suddenly, this beautiful music filled the air and no eyes could hold back the tears. It was music so lovely it took our breath.
I looked and saw a little girl, of exquisite beauty, playing a harp while looking at the lady in front of me. She said not a word.
Suddenly, the lady knelt to embrace the child. With a wan look, the child said:
"Mother, why did you not want me? Why did you let them cut me out of you?"
