the sentence





I kneel in the arena.
And the firing-squad, they each wear my face. So does every single spectator, roaring for my death. And so does the emperor, laurel-wreathed, who thumbing-down signals for my execution.

And so does the devil, I soon realise. I should've known there was no getting away.
