eMuseum Notes
Text reads as: Who was this you woman to you? Were there ever any times of happiness and tranquility between you? And, was your only joy with her when she bore you a son?

I suppose I look as much like her as I do you. I feared for the longest time that she would come and take me away from you. But she didn’t. She moved West and bore other sons.
