This chapter's epigraph comes from a famous poem by the English poet William Bolingbroke. It's about a baby bird that is about to be born. The baby bird is a reference to the seven "deadly sins" that plague the human race. The poem tells the story of how the baby bird was born, and how the bird's mother died when the baby was a baby. It also tells of how, when the bird was a child, the bird dreamed of being an "upstanding person" who would protect others. When the bird met merlin, she told him to become a "king who can make impossible possible" . The bird is so happy that he wants to kill the king.
