    EPIGRAPH: The Muses are virgins... Cupid, when sometimes asked by his mother Venus why he did not attack the Muses, used to reply that he found them so beautiful, so pure, so modest, bashful, and continually occupied... in the arrangement of music, that when he drew near them he unstrung his bow, closed his quiver, and put out his torch, since they made him shy and afraid of injuring them.

    EPIGRAPH: Scientific examination of the spiritual or "occultist" experience demonstrates that haunting can emerge from the forgotten depths of our own past, and assume physical and externalized form, now independent of the memories that spawned it, as Athena sprang from the head of Zeus, of him but at once free of him. Memories and ghosts are not so easily distinguished as previous generations have assumed.
