| Lemony Snicket dedicates each of his books to the elusive Beatrice. These messages may give us a clue about her identity. To Beatrice -- darling, dearest, dead For Beatrice -- My love for you shall live forever. You, however, did not. For Beatrice -- I would much prefer it if you were alive and well. To Beatrice -- My love flew like a butterfly Until death swooped down like a bat As the poet Emma Montana McElroy said: "That's the end of that" For Beatrice -- You will always be in my heart, in my mind, and in your grave. For Beatrice -- When we met, my life began. Soon afterward, yours ended. For Beatrice -- When we were together I felt breathless. Now, you are. For Beatrice -- Summer without you is as cold as winter. Winter without you is even colder. For Beatrice -- Our love broke my heart, and stopped yours. For Beatrice -- When we met, you were pretty, and I was lonely. Now, I am pretty lonely. |
