From R. Scott Bakker's The Judging Eye:

Mimara is already charging. Squirrel is out, a glittering arc that catches the abomination below the elbow. The steel cuts true. Bone cracks. Severed muscle snaps into knows beneath the hide. But only one of the limb's three spokes is undone. (p. 377)

I was more than a little concerned to click on this post...
That is good stuff though.


Of course it's good stuff - the image of a squirrel is involved, after all
Illusions fall like the husk of a fruit, one after another, and the fruit is experience. - Narrator, Sylvie

I think I'll stick with Terminus Est. Ghavrel - 21/05/2010 10:31:01 AM 439 Views
Yes, that one is very cool as well Larry - 21/05/2010 04:52:40 PM 470 Views
I love Wolfe's odd translations (and outright mistranslations). Ghavrel - 22/05/2010 03:27:43 AM 499 Views
I think some of that was intentional, knowing him Larry - 22/05/2010 03:29:22 AM 482 Views
Oh, yes. His incorrect translations are done on purpose (in Latro, at least). Ghavrel - 22/05/2010 10:08:18 PM 478 Views
