This chapter's epigraph is from a famous poem by the English poet William Butler Yeats. It's a quote from a poem in which a young man asks his master to teach him a new martial art. The young man is shocked to learn that his master is actually a martial artist, and that this martial art can even heal his wounds. He's so shocked that he's willing to let his master teach him this evil martial art, even though it's forbidden on the continent.
