Father a clouded northern sky; mother a troubled southern sea; brother a smoky western fire; sister a muddy eastern field. Seeds of fire sleep in the field; seeds of sky sleep in the fire; seeds of grain sleep in the sea; seeds of rain sleep in the sky. Quarter the wheel to make it go; quarter the earth to make it roll under your feet like a moving stair; climb so high you'll reach nowhere. Four is two is three is one; quarter the city to make it done; quarter the shining to make the track; quarter the darkness to bring it back -------------------------------------------------
