底比斯的七道门是谁建造的?这些书里写满了国王的名字。是国王们拖着这些崎岖的石块吗?还有巴比伦，被摧毁了很多次。每次都是谁建造了这座城市?建造这座金光闪闪的城市的人，住在利马的哪座房子里?晚上，当中国长城完工时，泥瓦匠们去了哪里?罗马帝国充满了胜利的弧线。谁把他们养大的?凯撒们战胜了谁? Byzantium lives in song. Were all her dwellings palaces? And even in Atlantis of the legend The night the seas rushed in, The drowning men still bellowed for their slaves. Young Alexander conquered India. He alone? Caesar beat the Gauls. Was there not even a cook in his army? Phillip of Spain wept as his fleet was sunk and destroyed. Were there no other tears? Frederick the Greek triumphed in the Seven Years War. Who triumphed with him? Each page a victory At whose expense the victory ball? Every ten years a great man, Who paid the piper? So many particulars. So many questions.
