"No tears, for I'm stone, but my clouded reflection eyes me like super eagle sporting its prey from far distance; there is never an end to dust and dusting." Says the King ..."Brako's face was eager and strong, his eyes were as clear as clean water, and took him to the other side of the river to looked on, and his looks went everywhere; the dropping of the daylight in the west to see the mats of algae that clung to the surface like scabs, insects flying up to and fro in his face, frogs jumping and sprinting from one place to another; and black-eye crabs and turtles splashing off into the green edge of the river, and river weeds whipping to the wind direction." ... Brako says to himself, "I bid myself to the top of this great afternoon, land of great desire where joy, beauty and greatness has no ebb, decay no flood; what a rolling hills before my eyes, your beauty is forever my mind's touch." "Tomorrow God willing we will battle down the Gate of Troy with our pen. As the old adage goes; "pen is mightier than sword;" I didn't come here for sand but rather to add my name deep onto the eternal stone of the academic pole in this school."
