What to do, what to do?

[Louder, almost shrill] End them!
[Punctuated by the sound of a door shutting and the click of a lock snapping in to place]*~Antoine de Saint-Exupéry,
Wind, Sand and Stars, 1939, translated from French by Lewis Galantière
**~Crowley's own version of Hamlet's To Be Or Not To Be.
