Word-tipped arrow and song-made gods,
Let loose in the multitude of voices,
Weaving and rending, words forged in the hearth.

Genesis 11:6 (King James Bible)
And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they all have one language: and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
