“My mother, Lady Setenaya,
Your woman’s head is unfit for it.”
“You ask a woman’s counsel!
You drew nigh to ask a woman something!
By the enduring blue sky above I shall kill myself!” she said.
“Wait! Wait, our mother!
Of those cowards who let themselves be killed
And those in the world who kill themselves
Leave nothing behind
For those little people who are to come after us.”
