Note 598 — Chapter VI · THE BATTLE FOR DELIVERANCE FROM THE MOTHER
Beatrice M. Hinkle translation
“Fight,” she said, “and fight bravely, for I will not give away an inch nor turn my back. Face to face, come on if you are a man! Strike home, do your worst and die! The battle this day is without quarter ... till, weary in body and mind, we lie powerless and gasping for breath in each other’s arms.”
