两位王妃
要访的王妃便凝视着对方，说道："我的朋友历，事实的真相是你爱你的丈夫。是的，你对他还有一份尚未用尽用掉的热情，那可是一个女人身心里的生命，好比花园里的春天。然而可怜我，也可怜我的丈夫把，因为我们不过是在默默无言的忍耐中互相容忍着罢了。而你和其他的人还以为这就是幸福哩。"
The Two Princesses
In the city of Shawakis lived a prince, and he was loved by everyone, men and women and children. Even the animals of the field came unto him in greeting.
But all the people said that his wife, the princess, loved him not; nay, that she even hated him.
And upon a day the princess of a neighbouring city came to visit the princess of Shawakis. And they sat and talked together, and their words led to their husbands.
And the princess of Sharakis said with passion, "I envy you your happiness with the prince, your husband, though you have been married these many years. I hate my husband. He belongs not to me alone, and I am indeed a woman most unhappy."
Then the visiting princess gazed at her and said, "My friend, the truth is that you love your husband. Aye, and you still have him for a passion unspent, and that is life in woman like unto Spring in a garden. But pity me, and my husband, for we do but endure one another in silent patience. And yet you and others deem this happiness."
