Full Moon
“Remember: I said strength, not goodness. I know not the measure of goodness. But the strong love silence, in which the weak reveal weakness by clamor and boast and lament.
The test of character is mystery. Integrity, in presence of a mystery, awaits imagination’s touch that, like the dawn upon the darkness, solves night’s riddle. But the vain revile all mystery. And why not? For it challenges, their vanity, that might lie longer hidden if it could endure the strain of silence in the presenc...e of truth dimly seen but not yet known or understood.
—From the First of the Nine Books of Noor Ali. BLAIR walked slowly toward Wu Tu, wondering whether she or any of the others knew there was only one shot left in the revolver. Midway toward her he confronted the owner of the blackjack who stepped forward smiling. He was not obsequious, but polite; he salaamed with one hand to his forehead, holding the blackjack in the other.
