It's not clear to me that Wicks has decided to include
these in his tale. They appear rather as quotations might
in any work, in some cases (not necessarily here) to set
the "tone" or to provide a key to interpretation of the
ensuing text. So maybe the implied narrator or the author
decided to include the Wicksian tracts.
