All this time millions of monkeys and bears have camped just outside your Lanka-and you could still not believe you were in any real danger-but even if Time and Death themselves overlook you when your life is full you can find no safety from Rama if you keep his wife. There is always a choice, Father-the Way of Life, or the path of Death."
