...is like a river that is dry.
:59:04
I see no purpose in discussing
the subject further.

:59:08
A woman, too, must make
the barren land fruitful.

:59:12
She must make life grow
where there was no life.

:59:17
Just as the Mother Nile feeds
and replenishes the earth.

:59:23
I am the Nile.
:59:29
I will bear many sons.
:59:32
Isis has told me.
:59:36
My breasts are filled
with love and life.

:59:40
My hips are rounded
and well apart.

:59:45
Such women, they say...
:59:47

That first time
when you stood here alone...

1:00:15
...why did you cry?
Will you tell me now?

1:00:18

1:00:29

1:00:49
...I came upon a statue of Alexander.
1:00:52
I wept then too.
1:00:54
Even then.
1:00:56
I want you to have his sword
to take back with you.
