“Midway upon the journey of our life,
I found myself within a dark forest,
for the straightforward way had been lost.”
— Dante Alighieri, Inferno (Longfellow translation, 1867)
“We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.”
— Oscar Wilde, Lady Windermere’s Fan (1892)
“‘Tis all a Chequer-board of Nights and Days
Where Destiny with Men for Pieces plays:
Hither and thither moves, and mates, and slays,
And one by one back in the Closet lays.”
— Omar Khayyám, Rubáiyát (trans. FitzGerald, 1859)

The king slides behind his wall.
The rook folds in beside him.
Silence.
Then lightning.
At the far end of the light,
She is standing behind nights,
She has not moved once.
She watches. A knight begins to stir.
The board rises in the moonlight.
It begins to breathe.
Move, and then vanish.
The queen will pay any sacrifice to bring you down.
As small as a pawn at the curtain rise of a comedy.
The queen keeps her eyes on you, and smiles.
