I've long since given up trying to duplicate the printed version. It's just not possible or, IMO, desirable.

The best I can do with current CSS functions is specify where a line breaks and use hanging indents for any reflowed portions.

*shrug*

edit: Or you could set the epigraph/image on it's own page and use an SVG wrapper.
