"The story goes that one day, during a war of the Mongols against the imperial house of Sung, an important city fell into the hands of the foe. When Kia Se-tao received news of the disaster, he was found kneeling in the grass of a lawn and taking part in a cricket match. 'In this manner you look out for the interests of the nation !' he was reprimanded. He was not in the least disturbed, however, and kept his attention concentrated on the game." --Insect Musicians and Cricket Champions of China

"Hymn to the Moon

Luna, nul one,
Moon, nemo,

In mutual autumn
I drown
Word; omen; no omen.
O, Luna, nul."

--Graham Reynolds
