    The Beduin could not look for God within him: he was too sure that he was within God.

    She questioned me about the women of the tribe of Christians and their way of life, marvelling at my white skin, and the horrible blue eyes which looked, she said, like the sky shining through the eye-sockets of an empty skull.

    wore his black hair in plaits down each side of his face, and kept it glossy with butter, and strong by frequent washings in camel urine
