This is a quote from "Curse of the Mistwraith" by Janny Wurts (pg 359 and
360 of the paperback edition), published by Roc in 1994.  Roc is a division
of:

Penguin Books USA Inc.
375 Hudson Street
New York, New York    10014

This is the book I have been reading during my break at work, and I'm about
fifty pages past the quote above.  Kind of strange seeing copyrighted
material splashed across my screen, especially something that I just read a
couple nights ago.
