This chapter's epigraph is from a comic by Jim Jarmusch, which was published in the same issue of Shmoop magazine as the first issue of In the House of the Rising Sun. It's a quote from a poem by the same author, which describes a scene in which a man is overcome with grief and dies. The poem is about a man who is overcome by grief, and it's about the loss of a loved one. In the poem, the narrator says that grief is like a broken heart, like a human being's broken heart. In this case, the heart is broken because the man has lost his sense of self and is afraid of losing the woman he loves. In other words, grief is a kind of mental illness. The narrator explains that grief can also be a physical illness, like when a person is struck by a chandelier. This is why a person who has a heart also has a mental illness, because the person is afraid to lose his or her beloved. So, once a person loses his mind, he also loses his heart. This means that if something happens to Tod, he's not going to be able to protect his beloved. He's going to have to tell his story to death.
