“I will.  Power is not the only Law.”

“Come, lay your head upon the altar-stone.”

 

lamb to lion:

“I will.  Life does not live on death alone.”

 

lion to lamb:

“Come, gaze into the landscape between my jaws.”

 

lamb to lion:

“I will. My worship is not for foreign gods.”

 

lion to lamb:

“Come, be my second nature.”

“I will. I am. I was long before you asked this favor.”
