It said to me: “Do you know who I am?”
I answered: “No.”
It said: “Who have you been thinking of this evening?”
I answered: “My mother.”
The whisper said: “I am your mother.”
“Oh, mother, command the light to come back! Show yourself to me!”
“No.”
“Why not?”
“My face was hidden when I passed from life to death. My face no mortal creature may see.”
“Oh, mother, touch me! Kiss me!”
