Herod

My father told me of lords from afar who came with strange questions and set court astir, before they set out on paths that faded into the grey east. He did not speak of what came after. Hearing that John preached the hope of a kingdom – I had him brought to me. I am not like my father; I showed him favour. And he – he he dared to say – and I dared not – until she – until she danced – -Tom Ravetz
