EPIGRAPH: Where the bee sucks, there suck I;
In a cowslip's bell I lie;
There I couch when owls do cry;
On the bat's back I do fly,
After summer, merrily.

EPIGRAPH: Mice are not men, everyone is happily saying.
Then why are the mice praying?
Men are not Gods, everyone was saying
when the mice began praying to the men.
Out of this mixture, why say No No
to my daughter, the bewildered buffalo?

EPIGRAPH: ...and from their haunted bay
The godwits vanish towards another summer.
Everywhere in light and calm the murmuring
Shadow of departure; distance looks our way;
And none knows where he will lie down at night.

EPIGRAPH: "One glance
can annihilate the void dance.
Looking away is the passion
day by day, year by year
the imitative act hot from the mould of the original fact,
"until we can no longer contain the cry
or live untouched in the house of replicas.
FROM: Alice Thumb or Violet Pansy Proudlock or Mavis Halleton, (1979), Fictional, NULL
