“…his 'heart' was 'dead'...he no longer believed the world was 'an enchanted place' for the only power that really existed was 'that declared by force of arms'….
A circus comes to town hawking a display of a stuffed whale. Also in the company was a “prince” who stands 2 feet tall and sports 3 eyes. Several mistake the “prince” as prophetic. Hilarity and tragedy ensues.

'There is a war going on out there, and it's only worth waking to the dying night if you are prepared to be utterly ruthless; a war...that has no rules...in which to aim at anything but victory was pointless....

…his 'heart' was 'dead'…he 'had learned to stand on his own two feet and understood everything’: he no longer believed the world was 'an enchanted place' for the only power that really existed was ‘that declared by force of arms'….

…we are simply the miserable subjects of some insignificant failure…human history is no more...than the histrionics of a stupid, bloody, miserable outcast in an obscure corner of a vast stage...this creation was not necessarily a brilliant success.

Mistress of the future, she already had courage enough to look the town full in the eye, perfectly convinced that she was standing on the threshold of sweeping changes leading to something new, something of infinite promise….

…for while she felt it was deeply unfair that she should be cast as an innocent victim…there was no authority to which she could appeal…she could hardly hope that the forces of anarchy having once been loosed could afterwards be restrained.
