Suldrun Looked Quote by Jack Vance
““A voice issued from the mirror..."The characters read thus: 'Suldrun, sweet Suldrun, leave this room before harm arrives upon you!'" Suldrun looked about her. "What would harm me?" "Let the bottled imps clamp your hair or your fingers and you will learn the meaning of harm." The two heads spoke at the same time: "What a wicked remark! We are as faithful as doves." "Oh! It is bitter to be maligned, when we cannot seek redress for the wrong!””
