Empire Dreams
“Wherever, whenever travelers meet; whenever, wherever the stories of their travels are told (exchanged like bartered spices or caged songbirds), there its caravans and pavilions halt in their perennial migration; invisible to the eye, of course, but none the less real for being insubstantial, for the stories out of which they are woven are the most real things in the universe.
There were five of them, gathered together against the night, a fragile fellowship of warmth and unique experience. As ...custom demanded, they agreed that each should tell of the marvelous places he had encountered on his travels. By the comparison of each man’s story, they might together arrive at some common insight into the way of the world. So they drew themselves into a circle around the fire and turned their backs to the wind which blew from around the edge of the world. And drawn by the fire, yet afraid to draw closer for fear that its light might reveal their insubstantiality, the ghosts gathered and encamped and the sound of their voices was like long wind in tent ropes.MoreLess
