This has nothing whatsoever to do with anything in Gemstone; came across it the other day in a novel by S.M. Stirling. I suppose I could have put it in the socializing folder, but I suspect more folks read this one. Sincere apologies to all the Beatles, living and dead. Anyone who doesn't know the tale of Elizabeth Bathory should do an immediate Google search.

Elizabeth Bathory
Draining her girls in the night so no one will hear
No one comes near …
Look at her bathing, splashing her toes in the night
When there’s nobody there …
What does she care?

All the bloodless bodies,
Where do they all come from?
All the bloodless bodies,
Where do they all belong?
