#1 "For she on honeydew is fed
And drinks the milk of Paradise."
(with apologies to Coleridge)

What a very brave soul was stolen from her people by this murder. But if, indeed, this is part of a war of the old against the young, it is lost already. The young always win in the end. And if it was her brothers as an honour killing, what will they do when their own children seek out the same kind of freedom to be fully human?
