There she is.
the feral queen, the cold eyes
The blue bandanna(the latest Germ thing?) the shorn hair of a pariah-Joan of Arc on bad speed? Or perhaps a Muse...Right, a muse! And if she was a muse, which one would it be? Polyhymnia perhaps, muse of eloquence and sacred poetry, or Clio-Muse of heroic poetry and history
And where once I'd toiled over my Dante, upon meeting her it came back in but a flash, Canto II with Dante and Virgil descending into hell (Inferno) Canto
O muse, o alto ingegno, or m'aiutate;
o mente che scrivesti ciò ch'io vidi,
(O Muses, O high genius, now assist me!
O memory, that didst write down what I saw...
I met her in the year of the snake, from which very moment she-and the other seditionist muses would inspire us to change history.
Or die trying.
