limbs-who

Updated: June 2, 2025

Every one of these ladies who sat there, with her bushy locks, and garlands, and jewelled collars, and lotus-flowers, and gauzy dress, displaying all her slender limbs-who, perhaps, when she was alive, smiled so sweetly, and went so gaily, and had children, and friends, and never once thought of what was going to happen to her what must happen to her.... She was in hell.... Burning for ever, and ever, and ever, there below his feet.
