PAGE 81 (Single panel page)
Single panel: A free page for the artist, with the idea of having something vast and horrible and tentacular boiling up from the depths of the ocean.
CAPTION – UU Minister speaking (1): For some, indeed the depths of the ocean are a zone of darkest fear. As the greatest writer of weird fiction once told us:
Translation (1): Некоторым людям глубины океана действительно кажутся обителью ужаса. Вспомним слова классика хоррор-литературы:
CAPTION – UU Minister quoting (2): “The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.”
Translation (2): «Проявлением наибольшего милосердия в нашем мире является, на мой взгляд, неспособность человеческого разума связать воедино все, что этот мир в себя включает. Мы живем на тихом островке невежества посреди темного моря бесконечности, и нам вовсе не следует плавать на далекие расстояния. Науки, каждая из которых тянет в своем направлении, до сих пор причиняли нам мало вреда; однако настанет день и объединение разрозненных доселе обрывков знания откроет перед нами такие ужасающие виды реальной действительности, что мы либо потеряем рассудок от увиденного, либо постараемся скрыться от этого губительного просветления в покое и безопасности нового редневековья».

Single panel (1): This is a long view from back seats down to the stage of a space modeled after [redacted]
Down on the stage a UU MINISTER, who is conducting the service, is reading at a lectern. A table has been set up on the stage with flowers and head-shot photographs of Eliza, Daphne, and Claudia). The theater, which seats about 400 people in its normal configuration, is full in the somber dress appropriate to the occasion. The UU Minister is a plump, pleasant-faced, middle-aged woman in ministerial robes.
UU Minister (1): The depths of seas have always inspired a sense of awe. More than a century ago, Longfellow wrote:
“Would’st thou,” so the helmsman answered,
“Learn the secret of the sea?
Only those who brave its dangers
Comprehend its mystery!”
Translation (1): Морские глубины всегда вызывали чувство благоговения. Столетие с лишним назад Лонгфелло писал:
«И ответил старый
кормчий:
«А под силу ли тебе
Бросить вызов тайне моря,
Вызов смерти и судьбе?»
