EPIGRAPH: If I could say to you, and make it stick,
A girl in a red hat, a woman in blue
Reading a letter, a lady weighing gold ...
If I could say this to you so you saw,
And knew, and agreed that this is how it was
In a lost city across the sea of years,
I think we should be for one moment happy
In the great reckoning of those little rooms...

EPIGRAPH: Saint and demon blindly stare
From the risen stone;
Brought to a common character
Neither can stand alone.
