Valerie: Is all this but a dream?
-
Tchor-konstábl: I, a servant of the Lord and a missionary, have come among you today, dear maidens, for your instruction and edification. O virginal maiden, do you know what you are? You're an alabaster hand proffered in greeting. You're a pomegranate yet to be split open. You're a boat-shaped leaf, an opening rosebud. The callous hand that would touch your breast would leave an indelible imprint. But I am here with you, my maiden. In place of your guardian angel, I bend down to you and with the most exquisite ointment I bless your lips, your breasts, your loins.
