\wsk
\who{J:} {They threw his head into the Hebrus, and it is said that it still
called the name of his lost one as it floated down to the sea.}
\more {This is the head of Orpheus, who bested death, and who now cannot die.}
\wsk
\who{R:} {Do you take us for peasants, Johanna?}
\more {The myths are dead. The gods are dead. The ghosts and ghouls and
phantoms are dead.}

\more {My ears were covered, but I could not entirely obliterate the sound
the head made, as its began its song. Although I possess a Modicum
of Greek, the most part of the words it used were unfamiliar to me.}
\more {Still, by what Means or Mechanism I cannot say, I found myself
deriving some Measure of Sense from its chanting. The head sang
first of Blood, of the baying, senseless cries of the Mob; of the
Anger of Women and Men; of the Worm that devours its own Flesh.}

\who{J:} {{\it (again, as in a page of diary, not in a balloon)}}
\more {Then it sang of Freedom, of Liberty of Love. And as it sang, I
gasped in dumbfoundment, for other voices were also raised in
jagged Unison. Discordant Voices, Harsh Voices, the Voices of the
Dead; and my friend (for so I now bethought him) no longer sang
Alone.}

\who{J:} {\it (again, as in a page of diary, not in a balloon)}
\more {The Ghastly Chorus sang of those who lead; of those who, by Virtue
or Circumstance, are Raised above the Crowd; who manipulate the
commonality will-they or nil-they, as a Puppet-master tugs on the
Strings of a Marionette, or a Romany Traveller pulls the leash of
his Dancing Bear. It sang of a dream -- and of the Ending of the
Dream.}
\wsk
\who{J:} {\it (again, as in a page of diary, not in a balloon)}
\more {I am not able to conceive what it must have been like to hear that
song unprotected. M.\ St.-J\_\_\_ and M.\ R\_\_\_, and their Manservant,
stood and listened like Statues, like Men Entranced.}
\wsk
\who{J:} {\it (again, as in a page of diary, not in a balloon)}
\more {After what seemed an Age, the Song ceased; and still they stood
there.}

head:)}

faltered during his speech before the commonal convention, and fell
silent.]}

attempted to speak. Until that point he had been listened to with
awe, or fear, or silence.]}

the first time, he was lost for words.]}

the arrest Robespierre was shot in the jaw. Or perhaps he fumbled a
suicide attempt. The truth here is a matter of conjecture.]}

jaw bound by a paper bandage, he watched St.-Just step up,
silently, to the guillotine.]}

Sanson, the executioner, ripped off the paper bandage that held his
jaw together.]}

with his head, by the fall of the weighted blade.]}
