"A Letter from Tarl Cabot"
Chapter 26: OUTLAW OF GOR
... I have loved life.
And on this barbaric world,
I have seen it in all its beauty and cruelty,
in all its glory and sadness.
I have learned that it is splendid and fearful and priceless.
I have seen it in the vanished towers of Ko-ro-ba
and in the flight of a tarn,
in the movement of a beautiful woman,
in the gleam of weaponry,
in the sound of tarn drums
and the crash of thunder over green fields.
I have found it at the table of Sword Companions
and in the clash of the metals of war,
in the touch of a girl's lips and hair,
in the blood of a sleen,
in the sands and chains of Tharna,
in the scent of talenders and in the hiss of the whip...
... I am satisfied.
I wish you well,
Tarl Cabot
