THE THREE MOTHERS: Mater Lachrymarum, Our Lady of Tears.
“The eldest of the three is named Mater Lachrymarum, Our Lady of Tears. She it is that night and day raves and moans, calling for vanished faces. […] She it was that stood in Bethlehem on the night when Herod’s sword swept its nurseries of Innocents, and the little feet were stiffened forever, which, heard at times as they tottered along floors overhead, woke pulses of love in household hearts that were not unmarked in heaven. Her eyes are sweet and subtle, wild and sleepy, by turns; oftentimes rising to the clouds, oftentimes challenging the heavens. She wears a diadem round her head.” – Thomas de Quincey, Suspiria de Profundis (x)

❝ The ring is on my hand, And the wreath is on my brow – Satins and jewels grand, And many a rood of land, Are all at my command, And I am happy now! ❞ ― Bridal Ballad, Edgar Allan Poe
