At the age of seven Saint Dementia could hear angelic voices.
She confided in her mother Paphnutius, who in turn arranged
a marriage with a young wealthy merchant. Saint Dementia's
fascination with woodland creatures lead to a squirels nest in a
large tree outside of Nanterre. There she received a vision of a
terrible catastrophe at the age of fifteen.
She was met with skepticism as she told her vision of a giant
acorn splitting the Earth. She was married on her sixteenth
birthday to her beloved Hyppoptamus, who had her kept on
a leash. It was her penchant to run naked about the fields and
then sleep on a bed of sticks.
Saint Dementia would frequently escape her husband's house
and preach about a secret society. Her mother Paphnutius,
dragged her by her hair from the tavern and beat her with her
shoes. She was deaf from that day forward.
The little Rose of Nanterre, although completely deaf, would
preach loudly:
"O' Emperor! Beware the acorns!"
Reflections: How many acorns can you put in the knoll of your
tree?
