Bogmeme / Book Meme

Jeg fandt et Bog Meme et eller andet sted på en engelsk blog, som jeg ikke kan finde igen. Jeg lavet om på sidetallet som oprindeligt var 123, men den bog der var nærmest havde kun 120 sider, jeg stak en finger ind på side 113.

Here goes:

1. Pick up the nearest book (of at least 113 pages)
(Åbn den nærmeste bog (på mindst 113 sider)

2. Open the book to page 113
(Åbn bogen på side 113)

3. Find the 5th Sentence.
(Find 5. sætning)

4. Post name of the author, the title of the book and the next 3 sentences
(Skriv navnet på bogens forfatter, bogens titel og de næste 3 sætninger)

5. Tag 5 people
(Tag 5 bloggere)

“Wine is the catalyst which causes a motion between the mystic’s soul and the spiritual vision; and for the mystic this is love, which itself is the goal of the Quest, and yet, paradoxically, forms the greater obstacle to the seeker.
The cup-bearer, saqi, causes one to drink; and it is the attention of the saqi that one seeks. The cup-bearer brings the wine of love and affection and symbolizes the Shaykn who guides one through love to drink of Divine Knowledge.”
