("I will sing to my friend, the song of my uncle concerning his vineyard. My friend had a vineyard in the valley of the fatling. And he strengthened it and stoned it... and they hoped to make grapes, and he made them into grapes" - Isaiah 51, and so: "But in my vineyard/ is destruction and blood/ a house of jackals./ I was blameless/ because I hoped/ I hoped to make grapes/ Why, why, why have you forsaken me?... "- Immanuel The Russian/ The Song of the Watchman)
