And he put me on board and sent me off from there at the harbor of the sea. The
winds wafted me to the land of (2.75)
Alasiya, and the townsmen came out
against me to kill me. And so I picked through them to the place where
Hatiba,
the princess of the town, was. […] Surely there is one among you that
understands Egyptian. And one of them said: I understand. So I said to him: Tell
my lady that I used to heard as far away
as Ne, where Amon is, that (although)
it is every town that injustice is practiced, it is in the land Alasiya that
justice is practiced. […]
And so she had the people summoned, and they were arraigned. And she said to
me: Spend the night […] –W.F. Wente’s translation of "The Report of Wenamun", a New Kingdom papyrus by an
envoy under
Ramesses XI gathered in William Kelly Simpson’s

It was the perfect station because also amongst the drops of time it gave short
teachings about things she might one day need to know. That’s how she learned
that the Emperor Charlemagne was called Carolus in his own land. Admittedly she
never found any use for this information. But you never know, patience always
pays off in the end. She’d also heard that the only animal that doesn’t mate
with its own offspring
is the
horse.
[…] But it seems to me that her life was a long meditation on the
nothing. Except she needed others in order to believe in herself, otherwise
she’d get lost in the successive and round emptiness inside her. She meditated
while she was typing and that’s why she made even more mistakes. –
