Book excerpt: Excerpt from Musk Hashish and Blood The Arab lives content beneath his tent of skins, satisfied with his hunch of date-cake aid the mess of couscous his wives make ready for him, with the milk of his goats and fresh water from the well and rejects with well-grounded contempt the interested offers of the Mercantis (european traders), who would fain inoculate him with the artificial requirements and expensive vices of the Foreigner. What is the luxury of our Palaces to him, when a blanket and a straw mat are all he needs for a couch and his horse's saddle serves him as a pillow, as he falls asleep and dreams of the unknown worlds that glitter above his head in the infinite depths of the heavens?
