THE GREAT CHAIN OF DEATH

One death contains all the deaths

resulting from it:

Thus the death of Iphigenia

contained the deaths of

Agamemnon, Cassandra, Clytemnestra,

Aegisthus and Aletes.

It was the seed -

and it was the bloody flower

of the deaths of Atreus and Thyestes.

One death is thus the result

of the myriad others leading to it.

A knife once unsheathed

cuts through both flesh and time

- and lives yet unborn.
