InscribedInscribed: Void of fear shalt thou graze along -- The hunter is far removed; he is in the fields of graves The tread of his foot is not on the heath, nor the sound of his unmissing arrow The bounding of his dogs is not on the hill -- they mournfully howl in the door of his empty dwelling (Ossian)
