Liber Saturni - Chapter 6

Verses

They accuse Father Kronos of eating his children, as though time has ever done anything else.

The young call succession justice because they imagine the throne has their measurements.

Uranus was cut down, Kronos was chained, Zeus will also learn the appetite of grandchildren.

I serve no king who promises eternity. Eternity is the first lie kings tell after the coronation.

Bring me the cradle and the crown. I will show you two containers for the same panic.

The child says, I will be different. The father hears the oldest prophecy.

A demon understands lineage: every heir is a polite assassin waiting for the calendar.

Do not pity the swallowed gods. They emerged later with excellent publicity.

Kronos failed not because he was cruel, but because he tried to digest the future whole.

Chew slowly, old king. History is tough meat.

The sickle is honest. It makes no claim that harvest and murder are unrelated.
