    EPIGRAPH: Become my helper. Become my human instrument to help me do what I must do on Earth. Leave this empty life you've fashioned for yourself, and pledge to me your wits, your courage, your cunning, and your uncommon physical grace. Say that you're willing, and your life is turned from evil, you confirm it, and you're at once plunged into the danger and heartache of trying to do what is unquestionably good.

    EPIGRAPH: When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange languages; Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion. The sea saw it, and fled; Jordan was driven back. The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs. What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back? Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs? Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob; Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.

    EPIGRAPH: My days have passed away, my thoughts are dissipated, tormenting my heart. They have turned night into day, and after darkness I hope for light again. If I wait hell is my house, and I have made my bed in darkness. I have said to rottenness: thou art my father; to worms, my mother and my sister. Where is now then my expectation, and who considereth my patience? All that I have shall go down into the deepest pit: thinkest thou that there at least I shall have rest?

And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. ... He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

    EPIGRAPH: Tragic rabbit, a painting. The caked ears green like rolled corn. The black forehead pointing at the stars. A painting on my wall, alone as rabbits are and aren't. Fat red cheek, all Art, trembling nose, a habit hard to break as not. You too can be a tragic rabbit; green and red your back, blue your manly little chest. But if you're ever goaded into being one beware the True Flesh, it will knock you off your tragic horse and break your tragic colors like a ghost breaks marble; your wounds will heal so quickly water will be jealous. Rabbits on white paper painted outgrow all charms against their breeding wild; and their rolled corn ears become horns. So watch out of the tragic life feels fine - caught in that rabbit trap all colors look like sunlight's swords, and scissors like The Living Lord.
