EPIGRAPH: At midnight, do they glide forth to gather on the high road, / and alackaday to any youth who comes upon them! / He shall dance, he shall embrace them in unbridled frenzy, / and he shall dance without rest until he fall down dead.

EPIGRAPH: I am the most peaceable of men. All I ask is a humble cottage with a thatched roof, a good bed, good food, fresh milk and butter, flowers before my window and a few fine trees at my door; and if the dear Lord wants to make my happiness complete, he will grant me the joy of seeing some six or seven of my enemies hanging from those trees. Before their death I shall forgive them all the wrongs they did me in their lifetime. One must forgive one's enemies - but not before they have been hanged.
