This chapter's epigraph is from a poem by the famous poet Milton. Milton's poem, "Ulysses," is a poem in which he compares himself to a warrior who has eight ribs and a heart. Milton says that he is a warrior because he is strong, but he is also a poet because he has a soft heart. He says that his heart is full of love, and his ribs are full of blood. He compares his heart to a mummy's bodily fluid, which has been transfused into a separate receptacle. He also says that a successful warrior can survive thousands of years. He adds that he has been a warrior since he was a child, and that his purpose in life has always been to help others. Now that he knows how to defeat an enemy, he wants to help everyone.
