A closing reflection tying all tales together through judgement, revelation, and final reckoning. The Host delivers the last word, completing the cycle set in motion by the Prologue.
THE HOST'S EPILOGUE
The stepping Stone has planted the root The harvest moon has engendered the fruit Imperishable shadows recall a ball of fire Indeed inbreed impede the funeral pyre
The Immaculate dozen standing strong and proud From a barren field a perfect yield has been ploughed Go forth and spread the news to North and South The Word will become tenet in each and every mouth
Ruben the groundbreaker be raised Jade the leveller be raised Priest the healer be raised Mother the enchantress be raised
Doctor the savant be raised Farmer’s wife the harmonizer be raised Village idiot the vitalizer be raised Homer the apologist be raised
Augustin the appeaser be raised Sisyphus the herald be raised Trickster the cleanser be raised George Washington the liberator be raised
Never underestimate the guile of pearly teapots The auctioneer has very subtly chosen the lots Come ring around the rosie, raised fledglings fashion the posie Come awake, come laugh and sing for I am Bodie.
