4 " Wysoko konstelacje opadają i krążą. Boskość rozświetla się we mnie jak ostatnie promienie słońca, zanim spocznie w morzu. Kiedyś myślałam, że bogowie są przeciwieństwem śmierci, ale teraz widzę, że są bardziej pogrążeni w śmierci niż ktokolwiek inny, bo są niezmienni i nie mogą utrzymać niczego w rękach. "

― Madeline Miller , Circe / The Song of Achilles

5 " Agamemnon nods, a dismissal, and we turn to go. Iphigenia. A tripping name, the sound of goat hooves on rock, quick, lively, lovely. "
