EXTRACT: He was looking at me...like the wolf looked at me...as if the world was looking at me and asking me....how could I ever explain this cruelty? And the wasteland of tiny human death around my feet. Then I reached down among the grey bones and the ice and I picked up that small package of hot life... and I held him in my hands.

EXTRACT: I lost a child! The whole world's wonder was mirrored in his lovely eyes! He was torn from me against my will by some vicious augury! And by the same mischief he came back to me! Whose policy is this? Deciding who is polluted and who noble? Ripping children from their homes? (to Teiresias) What monsters you have made of gods! And what lies you breed in the name of truth.
