...calculate. From the great fortress of Thel, through the religious centres of On and Per-Bastet, on a nine-day voyage up the crowded Nile past Memphis and the pyramids, he gives himself up to observation, impressed and depressed at the grandeur of a civilization of which, as a child of the desert, he has heard only evil...
