ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤeventually sleep will take him, but not yet, content to let the flowing fade light backdrop of night suffice his running mind. dragging, feet carry him largely unaware, mind swirling with thoughts of the evening. slit eyes, the echoes of FEN'HAREL laced with cruelty from the all - father, the laughter and repetition from the rest of them. he thinks of his mother's fear, the backlash of the evanuris, the way his father's hands trembled with a chisel the night andruil declared a hunt. stay away, mumbled in the cold, do not antagonize.

but she is gone now, and they rake his name through the dirt, mythal's name through the coals. the brutality in her husband's gaze, the quieted rage that sits behind a thin veil ; SOLAS THINKS HE KNOWS IT WELL. inconsequential what they think of him as, however, it only matters what she thinks. even at that, he punishes himself. DO NOT LOOK, DO NOT TOUCH. SHE IS NOT FOR YOU.

IF THEY WANT TO CALL HIM A DOG, HE WILL SHOW THEM HIS TEETH.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤhe spies her, against the dark edge of the water bank near their camp. she deserves more than what he can offer, a kingdom compared to this deserted forest bivouac.

DO NOT LOOK, DO NOT TOUCH. SHE IS NOT FOR YOU.

a swift clearing of his throat. " MY LADY, you have no need to watch. you should rest. if tonight was as draining for you as i, you may require more. " gentle. he knows her ego has been bruised far worse than his.

Power, power everywhere, And how the signs do shrink. Power, power everywhere, And nothing else to think.

Why are well-meaning Westerners so concerned that the opening of a Colonel Sanders in Beijing means the end of Chinese culture? A fatal Americanization. Yet we have had Chinese restaurants in America for over a century, and it hasn't made us Chinese. On the contrary, we obliged the Chinese to invent chop suey. What could be more American than that? French fries?

Anthropology's search for human nature emphasized shared capacities in particular cultures. But humans are always in process--there is no human nature.

Gotta love this entry, seriously! Ingold and Sahlins, two favorites!
