Description
Out of the fiery furnace of the desert sunset, he came to meet our caravan. We greeted him and shared our meal and he told us a tale in a voice that had somehow taken on the loneliness, the eerie quavers and disconsolate overtones of the desert wind, as it seeks among infinitely parching horizons for the fertile, spicy valleys it has lost and cannot find.
