Quote context

[...]

- She was very beautiful, wasn't she? This woman of Egypt who left her scar upon your heart.

- Her skin was white as curd. Her eyes, green as the cedars of Lebanon. Her lips, tamarisk honey. Like the breast of a dove, her arms were soft. And the wine of desire was in her veins.

- Yes. She was beautiful as a jewel.

- A jewel has brilliant fire, but gives no warmth.

- Our hands are not so soft, but they can serve. Our bodies not so white, but they are strong.

- Our lips are not perfumed, but they speak the truth.

- Love is not an art to us. It's life to us.

- We are not dressed in gold and fine linen. Strength and honor are our clothing.

- Our tents are not the columned halls of Egypt, but our children play happily before them.

- We can offer you little, but we offer all we have.

- I have not little, Sephora. I have nothing.
