Here is the rampart; the slanting joint through which Europe is bound to the Earth of the Earth.
And here it is that they fettered the ancient Thief of Fire
When the Eagle, falling like a thunderbolt,
Fastened upon him and tore the liver from his body.
—What do you see, Cassius?
Cassius (shouting): Space!
The Chief of Staff: Look North. What do you see?
Cassius: I see the expanse of the Earth!
The Chief of Staff: Turn to the sacred East!
Cassius: The earth is unrolled like a carpet. And the distance is veiled in mist.
