The birth of Harry
Chapter 2
And so it happened that in the land of the tAmericans, a young man was born whose name was uDavid, and he grew up near to a place called vbrotherly love.
2But a wfamine had fallen on the land, and then xwar engulfed the planet, and David marched from the corridors of Montezuma, along the gallery of Tripoli, and thence to the widow’s walk of ySugarloaf, where he had a vision of great moment.
3A cornered lion loomed yellow and fierce in the sky. zHunters closed in, the lion beckoned them on, aaten thousand thousand deaths blazing in his eyes.
4And then, even as David watched, a pillar of light stood up from the earth, outshining the lion’s eyes, wearing a crown of orange and fire, like unto a giant bbmushroom,
5Whereupon the lion was devoured by ccflame, and David returned to the place of brotherly love, in which his ddson had been born on a night of light and the lion.
6And the son he named, in remembrance of his vision, eeHarry.
