Every age spawns and feeds its dragon. Unknown and obscure powers under which the simplest and the most ordinary gestures lapse. Men whose bodily existence becomes the place for implacable struggles. Depths impossible to plumb and therefore admitted to participate in the holy economy. Cock-Crow materializes the dreams of a little boy who is blameworthy for what he sees. It is the fall into an anterior world, a place of non-consolatory object-images, in search of the dragon to fight against. Cock-Crow is a rite of passage from childhood to manhood.
