She Was Going To Bury The Head Of Her Lover With Her Own Hands
"That which really moved Mademoiselle de la Mole deeply was Margaret of Navarre's taking from the executioner the head of her lover... and burying it herself, at dead of night, in a little chapel at the foot of the Montmartre Hill."
"……With the head of the man she had loved so dearly resting on her knees, Mathilde, dressed in long mourning robes, was going to bury the head of her lover with her own hands."
—— Stendhal 《The Red and the Black》
