"Bacchus tells me that they have communicated with many peoples and they respect all forms of language, finding each beautiful in its own way. The language of this gray land is a flowing tongue in an alphabet long ago perfected. On writing, they are conflicted. It is necessary, but they warn that writing encourages forgetfulness and discourages memory and they are correct." (pgs. 407-08)
