Wake the Desert.

"The most vital part of the language involves names. I can grab hold of names and haul them down, but I cannot break them into pieces."

Cryptaura.

Deadline-driven journalists remember
Here is something ought to be remembered.

Many people died, but for what cause
And what came after, they do not remember.

Yesterday is nothing to us now;
And what tomorrow's for, who remembers?

If there were fascist governments before
It must be how they decked out, we remember.

Old Graywyvern drowses in a chair;
He should be mad, is all he now remembers.

Nice clip from Black Narcissus. (Just like 2024, eh?)
