makeri

Updated: May 15, 2025

We are there at last, admitted at this unseasonable hour into the guest-chamber of kings and queens, for an audience that is private indeed. And there, first of all, is the woman with the baby, upon whom, without stopping, we throw the light of our lantern. A woman who died in giving to the world a little dead prince. Since the old embalmers no one has seen the face of this Queen Makeri.
