Tim Powers uses the following epigraph by William Ashbless as an introduction to Chapter Four of his novel Last Call:
I watched her fly away for Vegas,
I waved the plane out of sight,
Then I tried to drive home without stopping at a bar, but I
Didn't make it, quite.
And sitting with those blue-jeaned shadows there, that had
Been there all night,
I found myself shivering over my chilly drink,
Half dead of fright.
