He invested in this great work of all his rich vocabulary, pure grammar, all encompassing erudition and knowledge, command over the language, and ornate elegant style. For this single work, he is still renowned. His vocabulary was vast and limitless. So much so that, it is said that there is no word in Sanskrit dictionary which has not been used in the “Shishupal Vadha”. In other words, the “Shishupal Vadh” is a living dictionary of Sanskrit language, paying tribute to his prolific use of words. One commentator has aptly said: ”Nav Sarga gate maghe Navsshabda Na Vidyate” It means that even one reads up to the ninth canto of his work, one finds that no new word of Sanskrit is left to be discovered.

49 Henry David Thoreau regularly visited and often took his students, including Louisa May Alcott, on educational boat trips up the Assabet River. Thoreau wrote a poem titled "The Assabet" to a love interest; its first stanza references rowing upon the river and reads: > Up this pleasant stream let's row For the livelong summer's day, Sprinkling > foam where'er we go In wreaths as white as driven snow— Ply the oars, away! > away! Thoreau reflected on the Assabet's natural sensory pleasures in his journal, contrasting them favorably against the heights of human endeavor and creation: > July 10, 1852 Assabet River > I wonder if any Roman emperor ever indulged in such luxury as this — of > walking up and down a river in torrid weather with only a hat to shade the > head.

In the preface of his West Indies volume he explains his intention as informative, "for...unless a studies and reads up a country before he goes there he must often be liable to pass by objects worthy of notice without knowing it till afterwards... The lithographs have been done entirely by myself and I hope they will give some idea of the beauty of the scenery." Briefly captured illustrations though these lithographs may be, their accuracy and detail, together with the strength of tonal observation, give them a satisfying quality. From his sketches also came the larger watercolours on rough dark paper, distinguished by his characteristic use of blue and sharp white highlights. At their best these are fine, sensitive evocations of the familiar coastline and countryside round his home, contrasting with the exotic scenes he encountered abroad, from the craggy slopes of the Alps and the Andes, to the shining domes of Moscow and Constantinople.

Shaeffer reads up on life and lifestyles on Fafnir; it has a 22-hour day, and the locals move at their own pace. Shaeffer, Feather, and Carlos move Carlos’ massive autodoc into the lander, put Sharrol into the intensive care cavity to sleep throughout the trip, put Tanya and Louis in the cold sleep box together, then leave in the Boy George for the three-week trip to Fafnir. Shaeffer remembered it was an uncomfortable trip; Feather kept giving him strange looks, so he avoided her until the night before they reached Fafnir, when she turned up between his sleeping plates. They were both aroused, but the next day she was all business as they exited Boy George behind Fafnir’s moon in the lander while the ship traveled on alone, passing too close to an ARM base on an asteroid that Feather was not supposed to know about, but did, then changed course hastily and left in the direction of another ex-Kzinti world, Hrooshpithtcha, to throw off their trail.
