Alia Atreides, A Host of Characters

The Telling of the Priestess Alia’s Trance Through Song

“She rides the sandworm of space! She guides it through all storms. Into the land of gentle winds.
Though we sleep next to the snake’s den, she guards our dreaming souls.
Shunning the desert heat, she hides us in a cool hollow.
The gleaming of her whole teeth, guides us in the night.
By the braids of her hair, we are lifted up to heaven!
Sheet fragrance, flower-scented,
Surrounds us in her presence.”

Dune Messiah, Frank Herbert
