Worldwide there are only some sorts of people,
But when it comes to speak of love and affection,
The sky is the limit. Let us say no more than that
Maria de Medici, the second wife of Henry IV,
Ruled as regent during the minority of her son,
But the Yellow Emperor and Lao-zi had no wives;
Great master Confucius had his wife and his son,
But didn’t have his teacher to put him on the road.
The first wife of Genghis Khan was a girl of nine
When she was affianced to her husband-tyrant;
Alexei, the heir and son of the last Russian tsar,
Was handsome but ill; Cinderella was penniless
Yet became a princess. . . To cut a long story short,
In the mundane world, when you think to wend
Your way to the west, you’d better steer your steps
Directly to the east to hit the target timely and thrive.
