"Have you seen walking through the village a man with downcast eyes and haggard face? That is my husband who, by a secret cruelty never to be told, robbed me of my younth and my beauty; till at last, wrinkled and with yellow teeth, and with broken pride and shameful humility. I sank into the grave. But what think you gnaws at my husband's heart? The face of what I was, the face of what he made me! These are driving him to the place where I lie. In death, therefore, I am avenged."
