%%%% begin example
\definecolor [quotecolor] [r=.95,g=.99,b=.99]
\definecolor [quotetxt]   [r=.2,g=.2,b=.1]

\defineframedtext
   [EpigraphFrame]
   [width=fit,
    corner=round,
    location=right,
    background=color,
    backgroundcolor=quotecolor,
    foregroundcolor=quotetxt,
    after={\blank[2*line]}]

\definelines
   [Epigraph]
   [before=\startEpigraphFrame,
    after=\stopEpigraphFrame]

\starttext

\startsubject[title={Introduction}]

\startEpigraph
\quotation{Need must find,} said the sea-thing child.
\quotation{Find what?} said the crab.
\quotation{Whatever there is,} said the sea-thing child.
\SmallCapped{Russel Hoban},  {\em The Sea-Thing Child}
\stopEpigraph

\input{tufte}
