“Here lies, reduced to a pinch of dust, he who, from a pinch of
dust, was formed to govern the earth,
Adam,
the son of None, the father of All, the stepfather of All
and of himself.
Having never wailed as a child, he spent his life in weeping,
the result of penitence.
Powerful, Wise, Immortal, Just,
he sold for the price of disobedience, power, wisdom, justice,
immortality.
