Jane Seymour

When you first wore your wedding dress, white as porcelain, as your complexion, did you know you were a corpse adorned in your own pallor?

Did you know you would die delivering an heir for his kingdom?

Your son could be cut from his cord, but can you rest when his father rests with you, when you will never be severed from them?
