I usually abuse @Abstract for epighgraphs:

@AbstractTitle { @Null }  # disable "Abstract" title
@Abstract {
||1rt      # push epighgraph to the right
4.5i @Wide # make it this wide
lines @Break {
THE WHITE KNIGHT  IS  SLIDING  DOWN  THE  POKER.
HE BALANCES VERY BADLY
}
@LLP ||1rt (Carroll, @I { ``Through the looking glass''. })
}

@Section
   @Title { Another section}
@Begin
||1rt
3i @Wide {
@PP One thing was certain, that the WHITE kitten
had had nothing to do with it...
@LLP ||1rt (Carroll, @I { ``Through the looking glass''. })
}
// # you need this, not sure why.  otherwise epighgraph is too close
   # to the following paragraph

@PP Text text text text text text text text text text text text text
text text text text text text text text text text text text text text


Wrap this into macro/definition according to taste.
Hope this helps.
