   I'm sure people have beaten this topic to death before, but I'll flog it

   I feel much better now.

fallas:

	The Beast turned back to me.  I could look at him fairly steadily
this time.  After a moment he said harshly, "I am very ugly, am I not?"
	"You are certainly, uh, very hairy," I said.
	"You are being polite."
	"Well, yes," I conceded.  "But then you called me beautiful last
night."  He made a noise somewhere between a roar and a bark, and after an
anxious moment I decided it was probably a laugh.  "You do not believe me,
then?" he inquired.
	"Well--no," I said hesitantly, wondering if this might anger him.
"Any number of mirrors have told me otherwise."
	"You will find no mirrors here," he said, "for I cannot bear them,
nor will you find any quiet water in ponds.  And since I am the only one
who sees you, why are you not then beautiful?"
	Any number of philosophical treatises on the Absolute sprung to my
lips, but I dared not speak.  Beauty was something that had haunted my life
ever since I was named.  Beauty.  When I alone of my sisters was not at all
beautiful.  Too thin, too pale, too quiet.  Only the fiery red highlights 
in my thick, unruly dark hair hinted of the emotions I so often hid.
	For a moment I looked at him and felt as if we two were one.  Then
shocked and astonished by my thoughts, I turned away, wordless.
	"Beauty--" His voice was hard, abrupt.
	Oh no, not again.
        "Will you marry me?"
        "Beast, Beast," I said quietly, "why do you persist in asking me the
same question every night?  I care for you very much, but I do not love you.
It pains me greatly to be forced to refuse you again and again."
        "I cannot help asking," he said, and there was an undertone to his 
voice that frightened and saddened me.  He made a brusque gesture, and the 
wine-bottle toppled under his arm.  He turned and caught it in mid-air with 
a grace that seemed inhuman to my troubled senses.  He paused, looking at the 
bottle as if it were the future, his head and back bent.
        "You--you are very strong, aren't you," I whispered.
        "Strong?" he said in a queer, detached voice which did not sound
like his own.  "Yes, I am...strong."  He lingered on the last word as if he
detested it.  He straightened up in his chair and held the bottle at arm's
length.  His hand tightened on the bottle, and it snapped and shattered, the
shards cascading to the table, splintering against silver and gold and falling
to the floor.
        "Oh, you have hurt yourself!" I cried, jumping up.  His hand was still
closed, and mixed with the pale wine stain spreading across the tablecloth,
darker drops were welling up from the tender web of flesh between thumb and
index finger, running down his wrist, spotting the white lace, and dripping
to the table between the dark, clenched fingers.
        He stood, and I checked my impulse to go to him and stood shivering
by my chair.  He opened his hand, and a few more bits of glass fell to the 
table.  He turned the hand palm up and looked at it.  
	"It is nothing," he said.  "Only that I am a fool."
        He strode off down the long table without looking at me; a door opened
in a gloomy corner, and he was gone.

jcbourne (Julie Bourne):

Tell me, tell me, where I'm going / I don't know where I've been
Tell me, tell me, won't you tell me? / And then tell me again
My heart is breaking / My body's aching / And I don't know where to go
Tell me, tell me, won't you tell me? / I just gotta know!
(Crystal ball...) / There are so many things I need to know
(Crystal ball...) / There are so many things I gotta know
(Crystal ball...) / Won't you tell me please before I go
Crystal ball...

Companionship, partnership, mutual reassurance, someone to laugh with
and grieve with, loyalty that accepts foibles, someone to touch, someone
to hold your hand -- these things are "marriage," and sex is but the
icing on the cake.  (Lazarus Long)
