The frontispiece of this book is Giambattista Tiepolos "Death Gives an Audience." Death with soft gestures and empty sockets observes his rapt audience. The book in his lap is one of many memoirs of the Phoenix recalling the Springs and Falls of life on earth. MEMOIRS OF THE PHOENIX collects such remembrances without provoking our dragon to reshape the world as we expect it to appear. The language then is hypothetical in urging the reader to question without lapsing into vagary.
