Are they a melange of\nBiblical and classical quotations (for example, from Marcus Aurelius), plus\nlater accretions, or are they more definitely structured than that?\n\nGW: A melange, as you say. Typhon [the tyrannical builder and chief \"god\" of\nthe Whorl] has told some secretary to put together a sacred book that will\nleave him plenty of elbow room. The book is sacred to Silk, not to me.\n--- Crush"
