| Description |
Like a reveler in an ancient masquerade, this
mysterious woman appears before us in
disguise. What has induced her to hide her true
identity through the ages? What secrets might
she tell us about the rituals of her vanished
world if only we could coax her to speak? She
reveals nothing, though charming us even in her
silence. In her presence, we will continue to
wonder, to imagine, to dream about her
mysterious past.
- (PF.1115)
