        "It is terrifying to think that our life is a tale without
         a plot or hero, made up out of desolation and glass, out
         of the feverish babble of constant digressions, out of the
         delirium of the Petersburg influenza."

                        O.Mandelshtam, The Egyptian Stamp, 1928.
