According to the Oxford Style Guide (ISBN 0-19-869175-0), "an epigraph is a short quotation or saying at the beginning of a book or chapter, intended to suggest its theme". I think it would be most usable if epigraph was the container of a blockquote or q and a cite: <epigraph> <q>Remember the most beautiful things in the world are the most useless; peacocks and lilies for instance.</q> <cite class="hCite"><span class="author"><span class="fn">John</span> <span class="ln">Ruskin</span></span>, <span class="bookTitle">The Stones of Venice</span></cite> </epigraph> <div class="epigraph"> might work too. -- Benjamin Hawkes-Lewis
