'Do not tell Amarinceus honour is No mortal thing, but ever in creation, Vital, free, like speed, like light, Like silence, like the gods...
Laurent had dared to sit beside him, and Damen grew comfortable the more arrogantly the Prince sprawled in the chair next to him. He even took on different voices, such as he could, and acted out the parts of the hero Thales and his mother the goddess, and the King Amarinceus and the others. All the while he kept a weather eye out for Laurent's promised mockery, though even that wasn't enough to diminish Damen's enjoyment.
...The movement of the stars! Beyond the stars! Dividing man from beast, hero from host, That proves best, best, that only death can reach, Yet cannot die because it will be said, be sung, Now, and in time to be, for evermore.'
Damen reached for a bookmark from the table and stuck it in the page, then closed it and looked at Laurent, awaiting his judgment.

'Do not tell Amarinceus honour is
No mortal thing, but ever in creation,
Vital, free, like speed, like light,
Like silence, like the gods...
