Epigraph:
Death is the mother of nothing.
This is a fact of life,
And exponentially sad.
All these years –a lifetime, really –thinking it might be otherwise.
What are the colors of despair?
Who knows where the light will fall
as the clouds go from west to the east?
–Charles Wright, 'Twilight of the Dogs', Sestets, p 334
