The Awakening, (Detail), (1893), by Eugene de Blaas (Italian-Austrian, 1843 – 1931), oil on canvas, 175 cm (68.8 in) x 100 cm (39.3 in), Private Collection

𝐒𝐀𝐈𝐍𝐓 𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐀 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐊𝐍𝐈𝐅𝐄 𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘯 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘐𝘳𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘯 𝘙𝘦𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵 “The Fremen see her as the Earth Figure, a demi-goddess whose special charge is to protect the tribes through her powers of violence. She is Reverend Mother to their Reverend Mothers. To pilgrims who seeks her out with demands that she restore virility or make the barren fruitful, she is a form of antimentat. She feeds on that strong human desire for the mysterious. She is living proof that the 'analytic' has limits. She represents ultimate tension. She is the virgin-harlot – witty, vulgar, cruel, as destructive in her whims as a coriolis storm.”

This shaking keeps me steady. I should know. What falls away is always. And is near. I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow. I learn by going where I have to go.
