...and I will kill thee, and love thee after."
[Othello]
Cambina
What Marius Would Say Aloud:
"There are those of us who speak little of what we know, and even less of what we suspect. I think the line with the Lady Cambina is hazy, muddled with what is spoken aloud that even she does not know, and what is elsewhere in time and space that we can only suspect. I do not know what anchors her save for the history of what has happened, and even that can be written from a different viewpoint. I think she dreams for others as often as for herself, but that the tapestry is tangled such that no one can see it from the distance of the living or sane."
What Marius Wouldn't Say Aloud:
"I fear that we have similarities beneath those of flesh, blood, and sinew. I fear her as I fear parts of myself that I would not want coming to light. I was afraid that my dream indicated that I was going to fall in love with her, but I think it is more that we have journeys that will prove more to ourselves than any others."
In Plain Words:
Marius' dream called him and her the 'Untouchable' and the 'Untouching.' He does not know which is which, although with different events, he suspects one or the other.
