And the falcon then nourishes man. And, eventually, man will nourish your sands, where the game will once again flourish.
That’s how the world goes.” “So is that what love is?” “Yes, that’s what love is.
It’s what makes the game become the falcon, the falcon become man, and man, in his turn, the desert.
