(urth) missing Kipling epigraph

My copy of Book of the New Sun (the two-volume Orb edition) contains
epigraphs for the first three novels, but nothing for Citadel. In Castle of
Days, Wolfe says that he intends to use part of a Kipling poem for the
Citadel epigraph, and I've seen this in at least one edition. It works
beautifully.

Any idea what happened with the Orb edition? Is this just a bad error? It's
a real shame, because the Kipling quote works as well as Shadow's epigraph
did ("A thousand ages in thy sight...").
