EPIGRAPH: Stop it, youfool! Stop that roll call of the Birds!
Are you utterly daft, man, inviting the Vultures and Eagles
and suchlike to our feast? Or weren't you aware

Clear out, and take your blasted ribands with you.
So help me, I'll finish this sacrifice myself.

EPIGRAPH: Come now let us consider the generations of Man,
Compound of dust and clay, strengthless,
Tentative, passing away as leaves in autumn
Pass, shadows, wingless, forlorn,
Phantoms deathbound, a dream.
