There was never a Queen like Balkis, <br />From here to the wide world's end; <br />But Balkis talked to a butterfly <br />As you would talk to a friend. <br /> <br />There was never a King like Solomon <br />Not since the world began; <br />But Solomon talked to a butterfly <br />As a man would talk to a man. <br /> <br />She was Queen of Sabea-- <br />And he was Asia's Lord-- <br />But they both of 'em talked to butterflies <br />When they took their walks abroad!<br /><br />Rudyard Kipling<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-butterfly-that-stamped/
