       EPIGRAPH

      An antique story comes to me

      And fills me with anxiety,

      I wonder why I fear so much

      What surely has no modern touch?

      … There, on a rock majestical,

      A girl with smile equivocal

      Painted, young and damned and fair

      Sits and combs her yellow hair.

      – Stevie Smith, Die Lorelei
