The South Arabian office is somewhat preoccupied. Having driven the rebels out of Moghazal al-Qoblat, our advisors are accompanying local teams to claim the mountain redoubt of Misfaat al-Khodhra. Cut off from their sponsors in Khaheshmikonam, their options will be limited. Once the operation is finished you will enjoy a full situation report. For now, more literary diversion:
"Flowers, tears (if you insist), departures, and struggles are for tomorrow. In the middle of the day when the sky opens its fountains of light in the vast, sonorous space, all the headlands of the coast look like a fleet about to set out. Those heavy galleons of rock and light are trembling on their keels as if they were preparing to steer for sunlit isles. O mornings in the country of Oran! From the high plateaus the swallows plunge into huge troughs where the air is seething. The whole coast is ready for departure; a shiver of adventure ripples through it. Tomorrow, perhaps, we shall leave together."
Albert Camus, "The Minotaur, or The Stop in Oran"
