A gracecup fulled of bitterness

• Many a moth, such as the Grease Moth (whose scientific name, Aglossa cuprina, echoes the 'Cunina' that has just appeared) can and will perfectly feed on grease or any other decomposing matter that means 'a gracecup fulled of bitterness' for them (eg. the eyes' socket, that could evoke the 'cup')

• In light of the references to the Decameron and to Itis, this cup may allude to the cup in which Guiscardo's heart is presented to Ghismonda (IV, 1, and a similar tale occurs in IV, 9). The story is borrowed from 12th century's 'Tristan and Isolde'.
