“To be born again”, sang Gibreel Farishta tumbling from the heavens, “first you have to die. Ho-ji! Ho-ji! To land upon the bosomy earth, first one needs to fly. Tat-taa! Taka-thun! How to ever smile again, if first you won’t cry? How to win the darling’s love, mister, without a sigh? Baba, if you want to get born again…” Just before dawn on winter’s morning, New Year’s Day or thereabouts, two real, full-grow, living men fell from a great height, twenty-nine thousand and two feet, towards the English Channel, without benefit of parachutes or wings, out of a clear sky.” — The Satanic Verses, Salman Rushdie - Incipit
