The audio clip that serves as an introduction to this album is taken from a performance of Shakespeare’s Richard II, with John Gielgud playing the role of John of Gaunt, delivering his speech from Act 2, scene 1. According to Connolly, this play is what initially inspired him to create Caterpillars...
[Verse: John Gielgud]
This royal throne of kings, this scepter'd isle
This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars
This other Eden, demi-paradise
This fortress built by nature for herself
Against infection and the hand of war
This happy breed of men, this little world...
This land of such dear souls, this dear dear land
Dear for her reputation through the world
