From the atmosphere of the novel, we read: "A dream that became recurring in a dream, a dream of one scene that I often had after the incident of the talking skull in the desert. I was watching swords stripped of their sheaths hanging and reeling from the ceiling. My father said: "The naked sword means war." He extended his finger, pointing. To the dune deserted by the tide of time... "Here we are completely indebted to Noah's flood"; a long time has passed, and my father is still condemning Himself to Noah, while I have never seen in my life that debt that he sings about and that was entrusted to him by his ancestors.
