Quote context

[...]

- Nefretiri, I have stood in the burning light of God's own presence.

- It was not he who saved you just now. I did that.

- Oh, Moses, Moses. Why, of all men, did I fall in love with the prince of fools?

- But I believe anything you tell me when I'm in your arms.

- Why must you deny me and yourself?

- Because I am bound to a God, and to a people and to a shepherd girl.

- A shepherd girl? What can she be to you? Unless the desert sun has dulled your senses.

- Does she... grate garlic on her skin? Or is it soft as mine?

- Are her lips chafed and dry as the desert sand? Or are they moist and red like a pomegranate?

- Is it the fragrance of myrrh that scents her hair? Or is it the odor of sheep?

- There is a beauty beyond the senses, Nefretiri. Beauty like the quiet of green valleys and still waters. Beauty of the spirit that you cannot understand.

- Perhaps not.
