This chapter's epigraph comes from a famous poem by a famous poet, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Longfellow's poem, "Invisible Man," is about a man who is caught in the crossfire of a battle between two opposing forces. He is caught between the forces of nature and those of man, and he has to choose between the two. He chooses the latter, because he is the most powerful man in the poem. The poem ends with the poem's protagonist, a young man named Siddhartha, speaking to the protagonist about his life. He tells the protagonist that his life is a struggle between nature and man, between the natural world and the man-made world. He asks the protagonist to tell him the story of his life, and the protagonist agrees to tell the story. The protagonist then tells the young man about his father, who was the founder of the universe and the father of all the universes. He explains that his father was a great man, but that he died when he was only a child. He also explains that the protagonist's father died when the protagonist was a child, and that his mother died when she was a young woman. He says that he will tell this story to his son, who will then tell it to his daughter. He will also tell his son about his own life.
