enter colloseum of nihilism,

eagle warriors, egyptian horse chariots;

barbarians of the north, graceful lions and their bones of christians;

thraks, bulgars, teutons, goths, moors;

slaves, thralls, mad ones, sick ones; limp ones; blind ones;

gudit, ethiopian iconoclast queen,

itzpapalotl the fearsome skeleton woman,

lalleshwari the scribe at the brink of the earth

and the onna-bugeisha, with her seven blades and javelins;

simple peasants, wooden swords, swollen eyes,

godlike warriors on the trail of the jaguar ---
