A person of royalty. A princess named in 'One Thousand and
One Nights', known for her wit, her tenacity, her daring, her passion and her delicate sensibility. The object of timeless praise and the centerpoint in the ballet 'Scheherazade' by Rimsky-Korsakov. A transcendental object of male desire and chivalry. An ephemeral, intangible
beauty, a myth celebrated by nature, by a pantheon of gods, and by a
boy from Sydney.
