• The following phrases from Bierce's In the Midst of Life are quoted or adapted in the novel (Bierce's Collected Works = B, Gringo viejo = GV): “In his younger manhood the father had been a soldier, had fought against naked savages and followed the flag of his country into the capital of a civilized race to the far South” (“Chicamauga,” B, p. 18, GV, pp. 15, 77); “I have never been dead in all my life” (“Parker Addison, Philosopher,” B, p. 61, GV, p. 200); “Consciously or unconsciously, this writhing fragment of humanity, this type and example of acute sensation, this handiwork of man and beast, this humble, unheroic Prometheus, was imploring every thing, all, the whole non-ego, for the boon of oblivion. To the earth and sky alike, to the trees, to the man, to whatever took form in sense or consciousness, this incarnate suffering addresses that silent plea” (“The Coup de Grâce,” B, p. 57, GV, p. 31); “Well, go, sir, and whatever may occur do what you conceive to be your duty”; “Cumplan con su deber. Disparen contra los padres” (B, p. 5, GV, p. 79); “Try always to get yourself killed” (“Concerning the Wish to be Dead,” B, p. 66, GV, p. 90); “[He saw] the leaves and the veining of each leaf—saw the very insects upon them…. He noted the prismatic colours in all the dewdrops upon a million blades of grass” (“An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge,” B, p. 14, GV, p. 139).
