    EPIGRAPH: For the truth is a terrible thing. You dabble your foot in it and it is nothing. But you walk a little further and you feel it pull you like an undertow or a whirlpool. First there is the slow pull so steady and gradual you scarcely notice it, then the acceleration, then the dizzy whirl and plunge into darkness. For there is a blackness of truth, too. They say it is a terrible thing to fall into the Grace of God. I am prepared to believe that.

    EPIGRAPH: For nothing is lost, nothing is ever lost.

And all times are one time, and all those dead in the past never lived before our definition gives them life, and out of the shadow their eyes implore us.
