"A blast of grief, of the s of children, of crippling diseases that took beauty at once but withheld ; of unconsummated love, of love lost or twisted and grown to ; of noble deeds that proved useless, that broke the hearts of their doers; of betrayal without reason, of guilt without penance, of all the human miseries that have ever occured; all this struck them, like the breath of a slaughterhouse, or the blow of a er." from the Hero and the Crown.

“Gone away, gone ahead,
Echoes roll unanswered.
Empty, open, dusty, dead,
Why have all the Weyrfolk fled?
Where have dragons gone together?
Leaving Weyrs to wind and weather?
Setting herdbeasts free of tether?
Gone, our safeguards, gone but wither?
Have they flown to some new Weyr
When cruel Threads some others fear?
Are they worlds away from here?
Why, oh, why the empty Weyr?”
