--Luke 23:55
"Remembering the river of blood and suffering that would flow from his side and flood the entire earth, he called out to the open sky where God could be seen smiling, Men, forgive Him, for He knows not what He has done. Then he began expiring in the midst of a dream...There was still some life in him when he felt a sponge soaked in water and vinegar moisten his lips, and looking down he noticed a man walking away with a bucket and reed over his shoulder. But what he could not see lying on the ground was the black bowl into which his blood was dripping."
--Jose Saramago, The Gospel According to Christ, 1993
"You tell children that the domain of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost is in the sky.
"Never do you tell children that the old people of Bundaya are blessed by the spiritual trinity of the Great Mother, the Rainbow Serpent.
"She is the stars, manifesting her physical beauty above, she is the rivers, creeks and streams which are the arteries flowing across the entire nation.
"The mountains are the state of her pregnancy, the caves her womb, the subterranean rivers which meander silently and unseen are her third self where each pays compliment to the one and the other and are inseperable."
--Robert Mate-Mate, Children, 1996, as quoted by Sebastion Jorgenson in his album, tribute
