I don't really see how what you're saying contradicts Octo's point. Of course it's a parallel to Hansel's song; why wouldn't it be? But we also can't say that it's a direct 1:1 parallel either, because Hansel's song is broken up differently too.

What Octo said made sense. If we assume the "killing parents" line is about Arte, then that means that Arte gets 4 lines compared to Gretel only getting 2. How it relates to the third segment in terms of lines is irrelevant because mothy put that one into a separate stanza all on its own. I think it is just meant to be a summation of the events of the first two lives.

Also Greek, if you could point to WHERE in Waltz it says this information, that would be more helpful than just pointing in its general direction (I don't mean to sound rude, it's just that I'd rather not comb over the entire book for something that may or may not even be in there).
