EPIGRAPH

“… those that were of the conspiracy began to cry out that he was not to be heard, and that they would not suffer a traitor to usurp tyrannical power over the tribe of the Volsces, who would not yield up his state and authority. And in saying these words, they all fell upon him, and killed him in the market-place, none of the people once offering to rescue him.”

—Plutarch, Parallel Lives

“There is a world elsewhere.”

—Shakespeare, Coriolanus
