"Tyrannus Maximus requires essential repairs before it goes to war again."
"Crusade for Armageddon" Jonathan Green
Ons and Offs

How can I be lost,
If I've got nowhere to go?
Search for seas of gold
How come it's got so cold?
How can I be lost?
In remembrance I relive.
And how can I blame you
When it's me I can't forgive?

Olie snapped the word off like a twig and tugged on the sleeve of the quilted flight jacket he'd bought at an army-navy store in the Cities.

Freddie could not keep his eyes open any longer.
(Kate Mosse, The Cave)
To go in the dark with a light is to know the light.
To know the dark, go dark. Go without sight,
and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings,
and is traveled by dark feet and dark wings.

I grabbed it from work mainly because it was free, but it turned out to be a very good, literate thriller, which I can recommend to anyone who likes thrillers.  :)

They tolerated the baptism and modest garments imposed on them by the French Catholic laws; but in the evenings, they made their cheap fabrics into alluring costumes, made jewelry of animal bones and bits of discarded metal which they polished to look like gold; and the salve cabins of Pointe du Lac were a foreign country, an African cost after dark, in which not even the coldest overseer would want to wander.
