The chanting that can be heard in the background of the episode introduction are actually the incantation of the first Stanza of 'The Great Leisure', an ancient Egyptian love poem written around 1500 BC during the New Kingdom. The lyrics spoken roughly translate to "Sister without rival, she looks like the star-goddess, rising at the start of the good New Year. Perfect and bright, shining skin, seductive in her eyes when she glances, sweet in her lips when she speaks, and never a word too many."
The full words to the poem heard in this episode are:
I am the rocks and the stream, and the trees. Touch my pebbles and I can feel you. I am the birds in the clouds in the sky, reach up into my being and believe me. I am the waking eye in the dawn of time. I am the stone and the mountain firm. I hear and see and touch and breathe. I am. Animism.
