Dear Mago,
You and I both grew up celebrating Valentine's Day. To warm the hearts of others was every young girl's wish. But hardly to be the Queen of Hearts.
According to Lewis Carroll, the patent remark of the Queen of Hearts about anyone whom she found offensive was: “Off with their heads”. Everyone in Wonderland feared her though her wishes were rarely their command.
Long before Lewis Carroll, to be exact in the year 280 AD, the head of Saint Valentine was ordered to be cut off. According to the legend, just before his death he performed a miracle by restoring sight and hearing to the daughter of the one who held him captive.
Perhaps it might ease some hearts to know what the deaf and blind daughter thought and felt before she could see and hear, as it might hurt some to learn what she heard and saw after her senses had been restored. Or vice versa? Does no one ever go to Wonderland anymore?
