“Nights, he slept in caves as the wind whistled outside. Or else he slept beside rivers and beneath trees and among the cover of boulders. He ate his bread, and then he ate what he could find—wild berries, mushrooms, fish that he caught with his bare hands from streams—and some days he didn’t eat at all.”

“Later we will fight the dragon so that good may triumph, & our eyes will look through glasses (ultraviolet) to glimpse the future. Rivers will turn the waterwheels beneath our house & towers will rise above it. Something like a piece of wood will drop into a jar or will be pinned to my lapel (it will protect me on my journey).”
