The tarn was but another of the beasts of Gor. - (Outlaw of Gor, Chapter 14, Sentence #173)

Accordingly the goad had seldom left its sheath on the right side of the saddle. I wondered sometimes if that bird, my Ubar of the Skies, that tarn of tarns, of a race of birds spoken of by Goreans as Brothers of the Wind, might have considered himself as above the goad, resented its shocks and sparks, resented that that puny human device would pretend to teach him, he, a tarn of tarns, how to fly, how swiftly and how far. But I dismissed such thoughts as absurd. The tarn was but another of the beasts of Gor. The feelings I was tempted to ascribe to it would lie beyond the ken of so simple a creature. I saw the towers of Tharna, and the glittering oval of its arena, that cruel amphitheater, dropping away beneath the wings of the tarn. Something of the same exhilaration which I had felt in my first wild flight on a tarn, this very giant, now thrilled in me again. - (Outlaw of Gor)
