"Women are about waking, Rose.
As mothers we wake them from nothingness to existence.
As maidens we wake them to the joys and miseries of adulthood,
wake them to the worlds of lust and responsibility.
And when their time's up, it's always us has to wash them for the last time,
and we lay them out for the wake."
The Kindly Ones,
