Notes





                                  Preach not your words
                                  of wisdom
                                  upon my deaf ears,
                                  you interrupt the voice
                                  of the gods
                                  with the raving
                                  of the mad.
 
 
 

     At the center of this page is a tiny silhouette of a man holding up the sky to form an opening for this poem which, like the previous, is written in the blue, cursive style. The remainder of the page is blue, representing sky.  There are two clouds hovering above the man.  These clouds form human faces as they near the center of the page and look down upon the man.
    These clouds seem to be speaking to the man as is referenced in the poem by the line "you interrupt the voice of the gods".  Again, this page, like the one immediately before it, demonstrates this character's view of alternate reasoning as mere distraction and self evaluation is given divine status.
 
 

        The music playing is Handel's "La Rèjouissance" from his Music for the Royal Fireworks.  It was found at  Jonathan Gustelle's Midi Page.
