Line 92: A GRACELESS GIRL, GRACED BEYOND
GRACES. The lovely, the fickle Tika. Armavir saw her
first, as a very young girl who worked hours far too hard
and long for her tenderness. Closely he watched her grow
and blossom into the beautiful woman she was to become
(see note to lines 46-50).
Well, as a young girl might, she went for the muscles,
for the job security, instead of the immortality bestowed by
the poet's pen. Tika, the wedding song33 was for us, sold at
the last moment for a pittance to Goldmoon and Riverwind,
when it became clear that in your eyes we were not to be! If
you ever read this, return to me, forgiven of all adolescent
attachments and your part in the conspiracy that left the
poet's name unsung! This chamber is bathtub unto itself,
my dear, my dove, and my eyes are keyholes!
Line 93: A PRINCESS OF SEEDS AND SAPLINGS,
CALLED TO THE FOREST. Laurana. Why Tanis would
throw over a number like Kitiara for this little one was
beyond Armavir, is beyond me (and an incident before the
siege of the High Clerist's Tower was conclusive evidence:
see notes to lines 46-50). Of course, humans AGE a lot
32. Obviously, the line also refers to the abandoned "Star Wires"
project: a quest that, it should be evident, the poet never entirely
forgot
