This site is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Alan William Smolowe who gave birth to the creation of this database.
Sir, I love you more than words can wield the matter, dearer than eyesight, space, and liberty, beyond what can be valued, rich or rare, no less than life, with grace, health, beauty, honor; as much as child e'er loved, or father found, a love that makes breath poor and speech unable.

Elizabeth II, born Elizabeth Alexandra May NULL
What will my enemies not say, that for the safety of her life a maiden queen could be content to spill the blood even of her own kinswoman?

Elizabeth II, born Elizabeth Alexandra May NULL
There will never Queen sit in my seat with more zeal to my country, care to my subjects and that will sooner with willingness venture her life for your good and safety than myself. For it is my desire to live nor reign no longer than my life and reign shall be for your good. And though you have had, and may have, many princes more mighty and wise sitting in this seat, yet you never had nor shall have, any that will be more careful and loving.

There's life for you. Spend the best years of your life studying penmanship and rhetoric and syntax and Beowulf and George Eliot, and then somebody steals your pencil.
