dressed in royal robes
she lay on her couch
faithful asp
fulfills her death wish
dignity intact
rest in peace
queen of the nile

Strange coincidence! You’ve just reminded me of the time when I read about Cleopatra many years ago and my fascination about her life… I remember wondering what it might have been like for her courtiers who, it seems, willingly died with her so they could be by her side in their next lives… I wonder if that story was true…
