Arrakis, a desert, planet, can you believe it? Some people call it Dune, I call it Arrakis. The SPICE must flow, and quite frankly, it will be flowing much faster than under the failed DUKE LETO. Maybe he was a nice guy, maybe not,I think he was jealous of me! We're looking into that very strongly.

Here the poet moves backward through the stages of decline and fall. The conceit of the staircase at once grounds the text in the realities of aging and its difficulties while also effecting a strange katabasis, the descent at once a return to youth that necessitates an appreciation of his nemesis.
