A man lies supine on a mountainside as a rapid succession of images flashes by—sweeping natural vistas, a stained‑glass saint, a newborn infant, a lactating nipple, a distant peak, farm structures, a tree stump, a blaze, a crawling baby and the bright sun. The man then tumbles, rolls across the terrain, and later is seen thrusting an ax with force.
