First words
The land--said the ancient African desert dwellers who saw it first, looking down upon it from that bare hump of rock that would have to wait some thousands of years more before one of their own descendants would give it his ... (show all)name, calling it "Gibel al Taurig," the Mountain of Taurig, insuring himself thus a corrupted immortality in the name Gibraltar--is a land of rivers.
Last words
(Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)And may good San Alarico, patron of skeptics and doubters, be with you in that hour to grant you out of his hard-won store of it--his peace.
