Henry Rider Haggard. Cleopatra (№ 175548)

Although the mad passion this woman has ruined me, I confess: I secretly was grateful to her - because her love was molested by every single male in this shameless court, and it is so much endless long years remained loyal to the outcast who didn't love her, and when this pathetic, broken slave of Destiny back in such an unsightly appearance, he was as dear to her heart. Is there a man alive who won't appreciate this rare and wonderful gift, the only treasure that can not buy and do not sell for gold - the true love of a woman?
