The title is derived from Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa’s 1958 novel Il Gattopardo:
Day had just dawned: the little light that managed to pass through quilted clouds was held up once more by the immemorial filth on the windows. Chevalley was alone; amid bumps and shakes he moistened the tip of his index finger with saliva and cleaned a pane for the width of an eye. He looked out; in front of him, under the ashen light, the landscape lurched to and fro, irredeemable.
