“Go into the morning sun on the river, into the reflections, the shimmer and the shadows, see the camel graze and the perching steppe eagle; he flies now, enter him and go into the wind. Melt into the rain and fall onto the ground, become absorbed into the body of the earth mother, flow from her, back into the world.” Yura watched Oyon’s eyes across the fire. She held his gaze. They were already close professionally but here was this new thing binding them together. Was this feeling, his spirit blending with hers? She seemed to shimmer in the firelight. The metal strips and little bells on her necklace tinkled as she stood up and moved toward him" [more]

The sun, which shone upon a day that was gathered to the past some three thousand years ago, was setting in full glory over the expanses of south-eastern Africa--the Libya of the ancients. Its last burning rays fell upon a cavalcade of weary men, who, together with long strings of camels, asses and oxen, after much toil had struggled to the crest of a line of stony hills, where they were halted to recover breath.

Before them lay a plain, clothed with sere yellow grass--for the season was winter--and bounded by mountains of no great height, upon whose slopes stood the city which they had travelled far to seek.

Early in the year 1894 I was a candidate for one of two vacancies in the Consular Service for Turkey, Persia, and the Levant, but failed to gain the necessary place in the competitive examination. I was in despair. All my hopes for months had been turned towards sunny countries and old civilisations, away from the drab monotone of London fog, which seemed a nightmare when the prospect of escape eluded me. I was eighteen years old, and, having failed in one or two adventures, I thought myself an all-round failure, and was much depressed. I dreamed of Eastern sunshine, palm trees, camels, desert sand, as of a Paradise which I had lost by my shortcomings.
