💡📝George Duke wrote on Tue, Dec 18, 2012 04:19 PM UTC:
'Sacrifice' was the 9th morality from December 2002 (pre-Man & Beasts) ten years ago setting up: F Falcon, P Chicken/Pigeon, N Hawk, B Vulture, K Bird of Jove, Q the Muses, and R Raven/Rook/Parrot. 

Then Http://www.chessvariants.org/fiction.dir/poems/falconpoem11.html, 'Seven Wonders' was the 10th February 2003, disclosing: Falcon = Pyramid, Pawn = Temple of Diana, Knight = Colossos of Rhodes, Bishop = Lighthouse, King = Zeus, Queen = Hanging Gardens, and Rook = Mausoleum.
(I never found the original French of Robert Desnos' world-war-ii-era "Fine After-midnight" and haven't asked til now what would be much appreciated.)
