Princess

Didn't Father-Knows-Best call one of his daughters 'Princess'?

And the younger one, 'Kitten'?

Back when television was black-and-white and we almost convinced ourselves that life could really be like that?

'Sarah' means 'Princess' (or sometimes 'little Princess') in its original Hebrew.

»Maddie, my daughter. She's 5, and she's convinced that when she's grown up she's going to be a princess. She originally planned to be a queen, but then she learned she had to marry a king.«

-Neil Gaiman, as quoted in WIRED Magazine

I know a princess, she reigns high in her eminent future. Screaming truths and sorrows from a tall barred window. But the tower reaches higher from the ground than it does down from the sky so only bit's and pieces can be heard. And by the time it reaches another soul, the only thought which is communicated is that there is beauty somewhere.
But that's the way she wants it, she even suggested the double-glass bay-window on the back. And we all wonder why she doesn't just slide down the pole and give us a hug.

»Your Paris gown is beautiful!«
»Yes, Percy, velvet panels are coming back again. Madame La Farge told me today that Queen Marie herself designed it.«
»Gee...!«
»Every princess in the Balkans is wearing one like this.« (Poses grandly.)
