The dead are stars in her crown

Up there in the snow and winter darkness Dionysos rules in the long night,
while troops of maenads swarm around him,
himself the choir leader for the dance of the fire-breathing stars
and quick of hearing for every sound of the night.

– Sophokles, Choral Ode from Antigone

    Excuse me while I go to the park and commence a mad frolic in Their honor.
