Ian Tregillis Quotes
The Clockwork Men And Women Fated To Maneuver The Oars Twenty-four Hours Per Day Until The Ship Reached Its Destination Had Turned Their Silent Voices To Song As They Bent Their Backs To Row. They Sang Not In Any Human Language But In The Secret Language Of The Mechanicals. A Shanty Sung In The Click-tick-click Of Clockwork Bodies, The Crash Of Tapped Feet, The Clatter Of Metal Hands Gripping Banded Wooden Spars.
