Epigraph to the collection from which Oates selected the title of the collection:
By the North Gate, the wind blows full of sand Lonely from the beginning of time until now Trees fall, the grass grows yellow with autumn I climb the towers and towers to watch out the barbarous land
—Chinese Poet La Bai (701-762 B. C.)[1][2]
