La Petite Boulain Quotes

“felt a great respect for a bird who obeyed the master of her own choosing. The saker was no slave. She had no master but the sun. She was wondrously free in a world where all men had many earthly masters. All common men were ruled by nobles, all nobles were ruled by dukes and earls. Even kings were the servants of the Pope. But the saker was not ruled by any man. She chose her master herself, and was ruled only by the sun in the skies.”
― G. Lawrence, La Petite Boulain
