Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
1 44 Primarily, I was exhilarated, being alone, with myself and the green pines and patches of snow.
Details
10
1 61 I raced about in the woods a moment, shaking bushes, batting the snow from the low-hanging branches of pines.
Details

1 207 The moon came out, and the mountainside was suddenly lit with its cold beauty, white on the snow in the trees and on the side of the slope, sparkling on the rocks.
Details
10
1 224 It was silent and settled on the rock platform, scarcely disturbing the light snow that was scattered on it.

1 69 Outside there was a light snow falling, soft as colored felt in the lonely neon lights of the street.
Details
10
1 74 Cabot continued to stare out the window, watching the neon snow drifting aimlessly down to the gray, trampled sidewalk.
Details
10
1 77 He shook his head, and continued to watch the snow.
Details
10
1 126 We put on our coats and went out into the February evening, into the light snow.
Details
10
1 127 Outside the bar we stood in the snow, not speaking.
Details
10
1 128 Cabot, still half-drunk, looked about himself, at the brutal electric geometry of that great city, at the dark, lonely shapes that moved through the light snow, at the pale glimmering headlights of the cars.
Details
10
1 144 When, shortly after dawn, I had finished the account, I looked at Cabot, who, all the time, had been sitting at the window, his chin on his hands, watching the snow, lost in what thoughts I could scarce conjecture.

20 86 The mountains before me were black, except for the high peaks and passes, which showed white patches and threads of cold, gleaming snow.
Details
10
20 91 I wondered—an eerie suspicion that suddenly swept through me—if the Sardar Mountains might actually be empty—if there might be nothing, simply nothing but the wind and the snow in those gloomy mountains, and if men worshipped, unknowingly, nothing.

20 92 What of the interminable prayers of the Initiates, the sacrifices, the observances, the rituals, the innumerable shrines, altars and temples to the Priest-Kings? Could it be that the smoke of the burning sacrifices, the fragrance of the incense, the mumblings of the Initiates, their prostrations and...

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
2 60 Gradually the air grew more chill and wisps of snow blew about me; frost began to appear on the steps and I trudged past crevices filled with ice, deposits which had perhaps lain as they were without melting for hundreds of years.
Details
10
2 62 Some four days into the mountains I heard for the first time in my journey the sound of a thing other than the wind, the sighing of snow and the groaning of ice; it was the sound of a living thing; the sound of a mountain larl.
Details
10
32 296 Outside I saw the two snow larls turn to face the portal.
Details
10
33 1 Out of the Sardar Vika and I, clad in robes cut from the pelt of the snow larl I had slain, set out for the great black gate in the somber timber palisade that encircles the Sardar.

8 41 The winter came fiercely down on the herds some days before expected, with its fierce snows and the long winds that sometimes have swept twenty-five hundred pasangs across the prairies; snow covered the grass, brittle and brown already, and the herds were split into a thousand fragments, each with i...

10
8 43 Thousands of the Wagon Peoples, free and slave, dug in the snow to find a handful of grass to feed their animals.
Details
10
8 46 Here the snow was little more than a frost that melted in the afternoon sun, and the grass was live and nourishing.
Details
10
8 47 Still farther north, another hundred pasangs, there was no snow and the peoples began to sing and once more dance about their fires of bosk dung.
Details
10
25 164 I could scarcely believe that the proud creature who stood chained before me was she whom Kamchak and I had referred to as the Little Barbarian; whom I had been able to think of only as a timid, simple girl of Earth, a young, pretty little secretary, one of nameless, unimportant thousands of such in...

11 77 But if these Kurii on the platform were snow-adapted, their fur did not suggest this.
Details
10
11 78 I wondered if they might be from the steel ships, either recently, or within too few generations for a snow-adaptation pattern to have been developed.
Details
10
11 79 If the Kurii were sufficiently successful, of course, there would be no particular likelihood of evolution selecting for snow adaptation.

10
11 303 In leaving the Thing-Field I saw, in the distance, a high, snow-capped mountain, steep, sharp, almost like the blade of a bent spear.
Details
10
15 5 I shut my eyes against the glare of the sun on the snow.

10
15 152 In snow the Kurii, spreading their large, six-digited appendages, dropped to all fours.

14 144 "Will that be sufficient?" I thought a snow sleen, one of those long, vicious animals, would surely be puzzled to find itself attached to a sled where there was no snow.
Details
10
23 482 There was snow on his parka, for, apparently, snow had begun to fall outside during the feast.
Details
10
24 10 "I trailed it to where I encountered sled tracks, and blood in the snow, and the trampling of the snow by many feet".
Details
10
25 6 Karjuk stepped off the runners of his sled and called to his snow sleen, dragging back on the tabuk-horn uprights at the rear of the sled, by means of which he guided the snow vessel.
Details
10
25 10 Imnak's sled was drawn by a snow sleen borrowed from his friend, Akko, and Ram's sled was drawn by another snow sleen, replacing the one the Kur had slain outside the camp.
Details
10
25 50 But, too, a skin bag, filled with snow, placed within the clothing, next to the body, which causes the snow to melt, may also be used.
Details
10
26 112 I did as I was told, and Imnak, with a large, curved, bone, saw-toothed knife, a snow knife, began to cut at a nearby drift of snow.
Details
10
26 359 Imnak added the new blocks to the snow shelter and, with his snow knife, cut those blocks he needed to finish the low, domed structure.
Details
10
26 362 With the snow knife, on the outside, he trimmed and shaped the dwelling, and filled in the chinks with snow.
Details
10
27 141 One brushes snow from the parka before leaning down and moving through the tunnel to the interior of the shelter, but, in the shelter, the residue of snow would melt, wetting the garment.
Details
10
1 378 'In Lydius,' said he, 'we encounter often the furs of snow sleen, fresh and handsome and warm.
Details
10
1 398 Oh!" "He wanted my tunic," I told her, "to take its measurements, that the jacket of the fur of the snow sleen might be well made".
Details
10
3 39 I watched him press on through the crowds, toward the looming palisade which ringed the Sardar mountains, black and snow-capped, behind it.
Details
10
3 171 More than one beauty who thought to have stood upon the platforms by the palisade, lifting laurel wreaths and in white robes singing the glories of the Priest-Kings, has found herself instead looking upon the snow-capped peaks of the Sardar from the slave platforms, stripped and heavily chained.
Details
10
3 454 From where I stood I could see the great palisade, and the black, snow-capped mountains of the Sardar.
Details
10
3 1126 It was snowy white, and thick, the winter fur of a two-stomached snow lart.
Details
10
3 1131 The snow lart hunts in the sun.
Details
10
3 1180 Two sorts of beasts are kept in domestication in the north; the first sort of beast is the snow sleen; the second is the white-skinned woman.
Details
10
3 1303 I stood alone on the platform, and gazed at the snow-capped mountains, glistening under the mingled light of the three white moons.
Details
10
4 41 At this time, particularly in the spring, the sun sparkling on the snow-strewn peaks, the mountains can be quite beautiful.
Details
10
11 19 The hides can serve for harnesses for the snow sleen and their white-skinned, female beasts.
Details
10
11 425 A dust of snow had fallen in the night.
Details
10
11 430 One stopped to nuzzle at the turf, pushing back snow with its nose, to bite at moss.
Details
10
11 434 It was coated with crystals of snow.
Details
10
11 452 I threw some meat to the snow before her and, eagerly, she ate it.
Details
10
11 455 "Crawl to me on your belly in the snow," I told her.
Details
10
11 458 Then I reached down to where her head, as I sat cross-legged, lay in the snow by my knee.
Details
10
11 488 I looked at her kneeling in the snow at my feet, her small, trim figure, her soft, sweet exquisite curves, her delicately beautiful throat and face, the pleading blue eyes, the lush wealth of auburn hair loose behind her naked shoulders.
Details
10
11 512 "If you persist, I shall bind you, hand and foot, and leave you in the snow".
Details
10
11 535 She lay at my feet in the snow, terrified.
Details
10
11 593 I then threw her to her back in the snow, that I might begin to teach her the meaning of her collar.
Details
10
12 171 She stood back, in the light snow, frightened of the red hunter.
Details
10
12 350 Less snow falls there generally than falls in most lower latitudes.
Details
10
12 351 Snow that does fall, of course, is less likely to melt.
Details
10
12 360 I saw a woman putting out a pan for a domestic snow sleen to lick clean.
Details
10
13 91 "Akko, who is my friend," said Imnak, "says that to take such a woman would be to leap naked into a pit of starving snow sleen.
Details
10
14 136 "There is no snow," I said to her.
Details
10
14 143 "You would expect to carry a girl off in a sled drawn by white-skinned slave beasts! What a scoundrel you are! How insulting!" "I will borrow a snow sleen," said Imnak.
Details
10
14 152 In a few minutes Imnak returned with a snow sleen on a stout leash.
Details
10
14 155 "Someone has a snow sleen hitched to a sled outside of the tent of someone," called Imnak.
Details
10
14 162 Imnak, for no reason that was clear to me, scouted about and located another snow sleen.
Details
10
14 243 Imnak led the snow sleen, drawing the sled on the tundra, and I walked beside him.
Details
10
14 260 The snow sleen padded along behind us, drawing the sled over the trodden turf.
Details
10
16 25 It was a snow sleen, easily identified by the thickness of the coat, the narrowness of the ears, the breadth of the paws.
Details
10
20 168 The Gorean moons, and even the stars, provide some light, which light reflecting from the expanses of the snow and ice is more than adequate to make one's way about.
Details
10
20 182 Wild snow sleen, particularly when hunger drives them to run in packs, can be quite dangerous.
Details
10
20 201 Sometimes there is a storm and the snow hides the breathing holes of the sleen".
Details
10
23 4 Snow had fallen several times, though lightly.
Details
10
23 24 "Akko has a snow sleen, Naartok another".
Details
10
23 26 A running snow sleen can draw a sled far faster than a human being.
Details
10
23 42 The snow was loud beneath our boots, crackling.
Details
10
23 43 Moonlight bathed the village and the snow on the tundra, and the ice on the sea.
Details
10
23 46 Several were on the meat racks, in the moonlight, trying to see out across the snow.
Details
10
23 72 There are upon occasion wild snow sleen in the tundra, half starved and maddened by hunger.
Details
10
23 82 We ran up, over a small hillock, the snow about our ankles.
Details
10
23 94 I was running down the hillock, slipping and sliding in the snow, my lance in my hand.
Details
10
23 101 In the moment that the Kur had turned to regard us the man had hastened to unhitch the snow sleen at the sled.
Details
10
23 102 When the Kur turned back suddenly to regard him the snow sleen was free and leaping for its throat.
Details
10
23 104 I saw it fling the dead, bloodied snow sleen, torn and half bitten through, from it.
Details
10
23 105 The man had struck it again when it had seized the snow sleen but the blow, again, had not proved mortal.
Details
10
23 110 The sleen, fresh-killed meat, lay behind in the snow.
Details
10
23 130 We ran toward it but it turned suddenly and reached the body of the sleen first and, dragging it by a hind paw, hunched over, moved swiftly away over the snow-covered tundra.
Details
10
23 168 "It was not after the snow sleen, or the food you were carrying," I said.
Details
10
23 383 "I had them both for the pelt of a snow lart and the pelts of four leems," said Imnak, rather pleased with himself.
Details
10
23 459 The Kur that I had seen outside the village, which had escaped with the slain snow sleen, had been white-pelted.
Details
10
24 12 "I then trailed the beast further, some pasangs across the snow.
Details
10
24 13 It had been wounded twice, and was found feeding on the carcass of a snow sleen with harness marks in its fur".
Details
10
24 96 "We will take snow sleen and women," he said.
Details
10
25 8 Karjuk had his own, and his own snow sleen.
Details
10
25 23 Indeed, the visibility is often quite good, for the light of the moons, and even the stars, is reflected from the vastness of the ice and snow.
Details
10
25 24 I looked about at the irregular and jagged shapes, weird and mighty, which loomed about us, of the pack ice, eerie in the deep shadows, and bright, strange light of the moons and snow.
Details
10
25 45 At low temperatures snow becomes granular and has a texture somewhat like sand.
Details
10
25 52 Sleen harnesses and traces are hung on a pole, thrust upright in the snow, to protect them from being eaten by the sleen.
Details
10
25 55 One may also take snow in one's mouth, melt it and spit it on the runners, but this takes time.
Details
10
25 56 When one eats snow, incidentally, one melts it first, thoroughly, in the mouth, before swallowing it.
Details
10
25 71 "Oh!" she cried, struck brutally to the snow.
Details
10
25 76 I threw her to her knees in the snow before me, beside Arlene.
Details
10
25 85 Karjuk stepped on the runners of his sled, and cracked his whip over the head of his snow sleen.
Details
10
25 87 "On!" called Imnak, taking his place behind his sled, and cracking the long-bladed sleen whip over the snow sleen, Akko's beast, which was in his traces.
Details
10
25 110 Interestingly, in his descriptions and rude maps of terrain, scratched in the snow, he shows little awareness of or interest in land masses or shapes.
Details
10
25 122 A sufficiently hungry snow sleen will turn and attack its driver.
Details
10
26 8 It then began to snow, the crystals whipping against our faces, driven almost horizontally over the level and among the pinnacles and turrets of the jumbled, bleak terrain.
Details
10
26 17 "We must stop!" I heard the sleen in the traces squeal ahead of us, the noise torn in the fierce snow and wind.
Details
10
26 19 I saw the girls then, too, their hands on their neck tethers, small, pelted, coated with snow, pathetic in the storm, weary, with us.
Details
10
26 33 The sleen was there, already curled in the driving snow.
Details
10
26 36 Snow was almost to my knees.
Details
10
26 50 I made to move out into the snow, to search for her, but Imnak, bodily, obstructed me.
Details
10
26 54 It would be madness to go forth into the howling darkness, the snow and wind, to search for her.
Details
10
26 98 If the snow sleen had taken the scent of sleen in this area it might well be one or more sleen wandering on the ice, sleen driven by hunger from the inland areas.
Details
10
26 106 The storm had passed, and the light of the three moons was bright on the snow and ice.
Details
10
26 109 Imnak, with his heel, traced a circle, some ten feet in diameter, in the snow near the sled.
Details
10
26 110 "Trample down the snow inside the circle," he said.
Details
10
26 121 He had begun to take snow blocks from the drift and place them in a circle, within the edge of the area I was trampling down.
Details
10
26 125 Imnak ran toward her, snow knife in hand.
Details
10
26 130 I saw Imnak strike her to the snow.
Details
10
26 139 The blade of the saw-toothed snow knife was at her throat.
Details
10
26 140 Then Imnak threw her angrily to her stomach in the snow.
Details
10
26 148 Audrey wept in the snow.
Details
10
26 170 "Even if we wished to turn back," I told Arlene, at my feet in the snow, "it does not seem we could do so".
Details
10
26 182 He did not answer me, but continued, swiftly, not pausing, to cut blocks of snow.
Details
10
26 191 Imnak completed the low, second row of snow blocks.
Details
10
26 193 One of the first things that is done, following the lighting of the lamp, which serves as light, heat, and cook stove in the tiny shelters, is to melt snow for drinking water, and heat water for boiling meat.
Details
10
26 201 "There! There!" The sleen squirmed but I, forcing it to its side in the snow, lashed shut its jaws.
Details
10
26 220 He continued to cut blocks of snow, though he now made no effort to place them in the walls.
Details
10
26 222 When the domed shelter is completed, as ours was not, the last block is placed on the outside and the builder then goes within, and, with the snow knife, trimming and shaping, slips it into place.
Details
10
26 225 The snow knife suffices, when there is time, to shape the dwelling.
Details
10
26 226 Chinks between blocks are filled with snow, as though it were mortar.
Details
10
26 234 Too, I did not understand why Poalu should be busying herself with melting snow over the flat, oval lamp.
Details
10
26 248 We could hear, too, in the cold air, even the panting of the animals, their gasping, the scratching of their claws, scattering snow and ice behind them, on the ice.
Details
10
26 275 An animal leaped into the snow circle and I, bodily, under it, lifted it over the wall and hurled it among others.
Details
10
26 284 Then the sleen were outside, some twenty or thirty feet away, dark on the ice, though they were snow sleen.
Details
10
26 354 We passed, literally, within feet of savage snow sleen, and scarcely did they notice us.
Details
10
26 358 Several of the animals, gorged with meat, curled in the snow, in a white coil, and slept.
Details
10
26 360 It does not take long to construct such a shelter, if the snow is appropriate.
Details
10
26 363 Inside Poalu had relit the lamp and was already melting snow for drinking water and setting a pot to boil, hanging from the cooking rack, for meat.
Details
10
27 2 It had been four sleeps now since we had left the first snow shelter, where we had been threatened by the sleen pack.
Details
10
27 16 They should be out hunting snow bosk, or basking sea sleen, or burrowing and scratching inland for hibernating leems".
Details
10
27 33 It did not seem likely that we could sustain the attack of five snow sleen without a shelter.
Details
10
27 86 Once again, as he had before, he found a suitable drift of snow and began to cut blocks.
Details
10
27 89 For example, it is not necessary for an igloo to be made from snow or ice.
Details
10
27 127 Then, after a time, we heard the snow and ice crunch outside.
Details
10
27 147 Usually a hide tent is hung inside the snow shelter, which provides additional insulation.
Details
10
27 157 At the outer end of the tunnel, gently, I edged out the snow blocks which, for most practical purposes, closed the opening.
Details
10
27 263 She looked at me, frightened, and swiftly knelt in the snow, in the moonlight, before me.
Details
10
27 272 Imnak struck her to her side in the snow.
Details
10
32 135 "A gas was introduced into your shelter of snow, from the outside, rendering you, and the others, unconscious".
Details
10
34 192 The beast, step by painful step, bloody in the snow, followed.
Details
10
35 1094 A few cowered, their weapons discarded, herded together by domesticated snow sleen, ravening and vicious, on the leashes of their red masters.
Details
10
35 1104 The men with the domesticated snow sleen passed me.
Details
10
35 1109 They were detaching many of the snow sleen from the sleds, to be used as attack sleen.
Details
10
35 1145 The power units in their suits would eventually be exhausted, and they would then be at the mercy of the snow and ice.
Details
10
36 57 "Put her out in the snow," said Imnak.
Details
10
36 90 "They are going to put me out in the snow!" she cried to Karjuk, agonized.
Details
10
36 91 "Are you going to put her out in the snow?" asked Karjuk.
Details
10
36 127 "And if you are not pleasing," he said, "I will put you out into the snow".
Details
10
36 297 The snow sleen were already harnessed.
Details
10
37 19 It drove ice and pelting, granular snow before it.
Details
10
38 6 Outside a gentle snow had begun to fall.
Details
10
38 21 I checked the harness on the snow sleen on my sled.
Details
10
38 34 Who could ask more from life than the opportunity to stand for a time on the slope of the mountain and sing?" The harness on the snow sleen was secure.
Details
10
38 46 We wanted their hands free to help with the sled, when it became necessary to haul or push it over rough ground or through heaps of ice or broken snow.
Details
10
38 50 The snow blew gently about them.
Details
10
38 185 There was a light snow about.
Details
10
38 186 Some of the snow fell in her hair.
Details
10
38 218 "In the snow you made me a slave".
