In Castle of\nDays, Wolfe says that he intends to use part of a Kipling poem for the\nCitadel epigraph, and I've seen this in at least one edition. It works\nbeautifully.\n\nAny idea what happened with the Orb edition? Is this just a bad error? It's\na real shame, because the Kipling quote works as well as Shadow's epigraph\ndid (\"A thousand ages in thy sight...\").\n\n-Jason"
