to the vaults of your soil” – sailors’ ode

¹Many tales have been told of the early years of cerebria, when the three voids made frequent visits. ²Who can comprehend the wealth of wisdom our forbears received in those times? ³Who can comprehend the deep compassion and the dour rigour of the voids? ⁴Our past generations were opened, flayed, challenged – and grieved for their old safe ways – and feared for the future and how they would live in accord with the tenets of the voids. ⁵Some of these tales were written down and were illustrated. ⁶Samples found their way into a small folio.
