Santi: Yes they do.

Aurelio: That doesn’t get me anywhere. So the old woman misses being fertile along with
her youth. I see her right arm is lain across her abdomen, indicating a barren
womb. A barren woman; the Bread of Life; who is this woman?

Santi: You’ve gone in close again, Aurelio. Stand back and observe.

Aurelio: (looking just to the south of the Old Woman; startled) The caged fire!

(In Bay 33, we can see a giant cage, the size of a man, inside of which is locked a brazier which
leaps with fire. The cage is like a small gazebo: circular, with pillars holding up a domed roof,
and three rings of steps encircling its perimeter. The steps could be mounted, but the cage
cannot be entered. Bars would prevent anyone from getting inside and stealing the fire.)
