The “lost princess” continues to be with me. I hear her voice in my heart, and the other morning, I imagined her writing a letter home to her father who had damned her to a “no good place.” She had something that she wanted to say to him, to let him know that she was not lost, and, at the same time, to direct him to where he could find her.
The music is “The Moment of Truth,” by Udo Vissman, and the picture is by Alice Pike Barney (1857-1931)
