I hope you are not tiring of my Fu-Manchu quotes for I do have a few more to publish from this volume, The Return of Dr. Fu-Manchu. Welcome to September. This is my 998th post.
"But not a sound broke the stillness save a remote murmuring, until a solitary sea gull rose in the air and circled directly over the tower, uttering its mournful and unmusical cry. Automatically to my mind sprang the lines of the poem:
Far from all brother-men, in the weird of the fen,With God's creatures I bide, 'mid the birds that I ken;
Where the winds ever dree, where the hymn of the sea
Brings a message of peace from the ocean to me. "
"The Fenman", Sax Rohmer
