  \noindent\textbf{Note:} this book touches on the plots of The Post-Self Cycle, as well as that of \emph{Marsh}. It is still a standalone novel, but might benefit from having read those works first. They may all be found \emph{post-self.ink} as paperbacks, ebooks, and free to read in the browser.

  \begin{quote}
People of Orphalese, beauty is life when life unveils her holy face.
But you are life and you are the veil. Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror.
But you are eternity and you are the mirror.

— Kahlil Gibran\label{prophet}
\end{quote}

%  And am I born to die?\\
%  To lay this body down!\\
%  And must my trembling spirit fly\\
%  into a world unknown?\\
%  A land of deepest shade;\\
%  Unpierced by human thought.\\
%  The dreary regions of the dead,\\
%  Where all things are forgot.
%
%  Soon as from earth I go,\\
%  What will become of me?
%  \end{verse}
