tower at the rear of the edifice.
When we asked our guide why we were quartered so far from the
guardroom he replied that the custom of the older members of the
guard of picking quarrels with aspirants to try their metal had
resulted in so many deaths that it was found difficult to maintain
the guard at its full strength while this custom prevailed.
Salensus Oll had, therefore, set apart these quarters for aspirants,
and here they were securely locked against the danger of attack
by members of the guard.

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from The Tanach: Leviticus 4: 22 When a ruler sinneth, and doeth through error any one of all the things which the LORD his God hath commanded not to be done, and is guilty:
Leviticus 4: 23 if his sin, wherein he hath sinned, be known to him, he shall bring for his offering a goat, a male without blemish.
Leviticus 4: 24 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the goat, and kill it in the place where they kill the burnt-offering before the LORD; it is a sin-offering.
Leviticus 4: 25 And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin-offering with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt-offering, and the remaining blood thereof shall he pour out at the base of the altar of burnt-offering.
Leviticus 4: 26 And all the fat thereof shall he make smoke upon the altar, as the fat of the sacrifice of peace-offerings; and the priest shall make atonement for him as concerning his sin, and he shall be forgiven.

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from The Life of the Spider by J. Henri Fabre: disappear as the real toils are woven, I will give the name of the
'auxiliary spiral.' Its object is to supply cross-bars, supporting
rungs, especially in the outer zone, where the radii are too
distant from one another to afford a suitable groundwork. Its
object is also to guide the Epeira in the extremely delicate
business which she is now about to undertake.
But, before that, one last task becomes essential. The area
occupied by the spokes is very irregular, being marked out by the
supports of the branch, which are infinitely variable. There are
angular niches which, if skirted too closely, would disturb the
symmetry of the web about to be constructed. The Epeira needs an
