EPIGRAPH: Animula vagula, blandula, hospes comesque corporis, quae nunc abibis in loca pallidula, bigida, nudula, nec, ut soles, dabis iocos...
(Little soul, you charming little wanderer, my body's guest and partner,
where are you off to now?
somewhere without colour, savage and bare;
You'll crack no more of your jokes once you're there.)
