LINE 13: The story goes also that within men's memory two wandering sailors -- Americanos, perhaps, but gringos of some sort for certain -- talked over a gambling, good-for-nothing mozo, and the three stole a donkey to carry for them a bundle of dry sticks, a water-skin, and provisions enough to last a few days.
This adds little to what was given in the previous lines, though it establishes that it is foreigners - i.e. colonialists - who sought the legendary treasure of Azeura, just as it is foreigners, and those of foreign descent, who will seek the treasure of San Tome.
The identification of the adventurers as possible Americans links them, perhaps, with Holroyd, the maerican businessman and financier of religious missionaries.

I've just started reading Infinite Loop, a critical biography of Steve Jobs, Stephen Wozniak and Apple computers. Bloody great so far.

Just borrowed (I rarely buy) and finished 'Let the right one in' on a recommendation. Pretty awesome.

Everything seems faster when your brain begins to slow down.

One should also remember that the Pool fell in love with its self as it could see its reflection in Narcissus's eyes.

If you look at the abyss long enough, the abyss will look back at you.

the frightening nature of knowledge leaves no alternative and every bit of power has death at its central core

without the awareness of the abyss and death then you can only be an ordinary man with an ordinary life

so close to his body they are one. Her left leg up over his hip as he strokes deasth to orgasm because they are friends.Death advises him how to chose , how to live strategicaly, and the man knows what he is waiting for, while the ordinary man knows nothing of such things or what he is waiting for
