The Scapegoat

CHAPTER XVI
15/34

How should you?
And how shall I tell you?
Listen.

She is the one who loves you first and last and always.

When you are a babe she suckles you and nourishes you and fondles you, and watches for the first light of your smile, and listens for the first accent of your tongue.

When you are a young child she plays with you, and sings to you, and tells you little stories, and teaches you to speak.

Your smile is more bright to her than sunshine, and your childish lisp more sweet than music.
