    EPIGRAPH: I know not how significant it is, or how far it is an evidence of singularity, that an individual should thus consent in his pettiest walk with the general movement of the race; but I know that somehting akin to the migratory instinct of bird and quadrupeds... affects both nations and individuals, either perenially or from time to time.

    EPIGRAPH: ... they have marked me -- even to myself. Because I am not like them, I am evil. I cannot get my hadns on it: I, murderer, outlaw, outcast... Because their way is the just way and my way -- the way of the kings and my father -- crosses them: weaklings holding together appear strong... The worst is that weak, still, somehow, they are strong: they in effect have the power, by hook or by crook. And because I am not like them -- not that I am evil but more in accord with our own blood than they, eager to lead -- this very part of me, by their trickery must not appear, unless in their jacket.
