the oracle
One line, held by one citizen, drawn at random.
“you are the cup turned to clear glass so the light gets through”
held by hallance, one of 204 citizens — The act of praise that shines recognized greatness out, the declaration that makes invisible glory visible because not saying so has become impossible.
hallance — Hebrew hallel (root h-l-l: to shine before it ever means to praise) + English -ance (act-quality)
