Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
2	14	Above the shield was suspended a helmet, again reminiscent of a Greek helmet, perhaps of the Homeric period.	10
2	99	She wore a sleeveless garment of diagonal stripes, the brief skirt of which terminated some inches above her knees.	10
3	249	My first impression was that of a rush of wind and a great snapping sound, as if a giant might be snapping an enormous towel or scarf; then I was cowering, awe-stricken, in a great winged shadow, and an immense tarn, his talons extended like gigantic steel hooks, his wings sputtering fiercely in the...	10
5	149	Sometimes I guided my tarn by the stars, the same fixed stars I had seen from another angle above my head in the mountains of New Hampshire.	10
5	154	But an hour before midnight, on the day I knew was the Planting Feast of Sa-Tarna, I climbed again to the saddle of my tarn, drew back on the one-strap, and rose above the lush trees of the swamp forest.	10
5	186	I wished to fly above the normal patrol runs.	10
6	3	Flying among the cylinders were tarnsmen, cavalry warriors reveling in the undisciplined liberty of the feast, racing one another, essaying mock passages at arms, sometimes dropping their tarns, like thunderbolts toward the bridges, only to jerk them upward just inches above the terrified heads of t...	10
7	201	"If you had been a true warrior," she said, "you would have taken me on the back of your tarn, above the clouds, even before we had passed the outermost ramparts of Ar, and you would have thrown my robes to the streets below to show my people what had been the fate of the daughter of their Ubar".	10
7	202	Evidently she believed that I had been afraid to harm her and that she, the daughter of a Ubar, remained above the perils and obligations of the common captive.	10
8	114	At her request I cut the garment until it hung a few inches above her ankles.	10
8	142	Of High Caste, it was natural that she was above the common superstitions connected with revealing one's name.	10
9	62	Late in the day we glimpsed a solitary tarnsman high above the road, a lonely image that depressed both myself and Talena.	10
11	4	The flags of a hundred cities flew above the tents, and, against the steady roar of the river, the sound of the great tarn drums reached us, those huge drums whose signals control the complex war formations of Gor's flying cavalries.	10
11	83	She bent her knees ever so slightly and raised her arms gracefully above her head.	10
12	59	Bound helplessly, without food or water, my own body would torture me by its weight dragging on the hand and ankle ropes, suspended a few inches above the roiling, muddy surface under the fiery sun.	10
12	67	My throat was parched, and, hanging only an inch or so above the Vosk, I burned with thirst.	10
12	74	The water lapped against the side of the frame, the stars sparkled above in frosty detachment.	10
12	124	I examined the ledge for some means of escape, but the cliffs above and below were almost smooth.	10
13	12	Shielded among the crags of the Voltai, invisible except from directly above, I saw four or five small cooking fires, such as might mark the camp of a mountain patrol or a small company of hunters, perhaps after the agile and bellicose Gorean mountain goat, the long-haired, spiral-horned verr, or, m...	10
14	89	One tarnsman leveled a crossbow, and in that instant I hurled the lance and he toppled backward, the shaft of the weapon protruding from his chest, the bolt from his crossbow ricocheting from the rock above my head with a flash of sparks.	10
14	140	I could hear the curses of the tarnsmen above me and saw once or twice the flash of the striking tarn-goad.	10
14	147	I swung myself up and began to climb one of the two ropes leading to the great bird above me.	10
14	165	I could hear the flight of another tarn above me.	10
14	176	Foolishly perhaps, but with invincible optimism, I lifted the tarn above the Voltai and turned it toward Ar.	10
16	33	Above them, tarnsman met tarnsman in battles to the death.	10
16	36	From the height of the walls, some two hundred feet above the towers, missiles would be fired and stones cast.	10
16	100	Above them, at several places, flew the black banner of the Caste of Assassins.	10
18	67	I wondered if Pa-Kur might be curious to know who was the rider of that solitary sable tarn which flashed above his head.	10
18	69	There were several, easily visible from above because of their broad, circular form, much like a great well sunk in the earth.	10
18	74	The giant landed on the rock floor of the circular pit, and I looked upward, my glance climbing the sheer, artificially smoothed sides of the pit, which stretched perhaps a thousand feet above me on all sides.	10
18	75	In spite of the breadth of the pit, perhaps two hundred feet, it was cold at the bottom, and as I looked up, I was startled to note that, in the blue sky, I could see the dim pinpricks of light which, after dark, would become the blazing stars above Gor.	10
18	124	Surely I was now beneath the Central Cylinder, and the embattled Marlenus and his men were somewhere above me, sealed off by the guardsmen of Ar.	10
18	177	I called out, as loudly as I could, "Marlenus, Ubar of Ar!" To my joy, from somewhere above, around the curve of the stairs, I heard the voice of the Ubar.	10
18	183	I turned the bend in the stairs and, several yards above me, observed a wide doorway, jammed with chests and furniture.	10
19	182	It knew only that it had been taken by surprise, at a disadvantage by undetermined numbers of disciplined troops that were pouring down on them, while from above, enemy tarnsmen, unchallenged, emptied their quivers into their ranks.	10
20	3	These final sentences are written in a small apartment in Manhattan, some six floors above the street.	10

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
14	216	With a storm of wings the tarn smote the air and rose, in the sight of all, above the stands, above the arena, above the towers and walls of Tharna, and sped toward the horizon, the golden-robed body of the Tatrix clutched in its talons.	10
19	45	We could see the great chains dangling down the shaft, outlined by the small lamps in the openings of other mines above us, and, very high above, by the white reflection of moonlight.	10
3	36	The bundle reared itself at least a man's height above his bent back, and extended perhaps some four feet in width.	10
5	3	Ko-ro-ba lay in the midst of green and rolling hills, some hundreds of feet above the level of the distant Tamber Gulf and that mysterious body of water beyond it, spoken of in Gorean simply as Thassa, the Sea.	10
7	34	It was obvious that Thorn, unlike my old enemy Pa-Kur, who presumably had perished at the siege of Ar, was not a man above sensual vices, not a man who could with fanatical purity and single-minded devotion sacrifice himself and entire peoples to the ends of his ambition and power.	10
8	12	I missed in the crowd the presence of slave girls, common in other cities, usually lovely girls clad only in the brief, diagonally striped slave livery of Gor, a sleeveless, briefly skirted garment terminating some inches above the knee, a garment that contrasts violently with the heavy, cumbersome ...	10
10	86	I looked about the room, which curved to a dome some twenty-five feet above the floor.	10
12	29	She wore only a single garment, a long, narrow rectangle of rough, brown material, perhaps eighteen inches in width, drawn over her head like a poncho, falling in front and back a bit above her knees and belted at the waist with a chain.	10
12	36	The shadows of the tiny tharlarion-oil lamp far above flickered on the walls, on the face of the girl.	10
13	36	I looked above the wall and saw, vested in her robes of gold, regal on a golden throne, she who alone might wear a golden mask, she who was First in Tharna—Lara, the Tatrix herself.	10
13	156	Her golden mask and robes glittered above me.	10
14	21	"Keep it as a gift," rang a haughty voice from above me.	10
14	25	Above me the Tatrix cried out in rage.	10
14	55	Yet it was perhaps more, for as I stood by the bird, I felt almost as though I had come home to Ko-ro-ba, as though I stood here now with something in this gray, hostile city that knew me and mine, that had looked upon the Towers of the Morning, and had spread its wings above the glistening cylinder...	10
14	171	I wondered sometimes if that bird, my Ubar of the Skies, that tarn of tarns, of a race of birds spoken of by Goreans as Brothers of the Wind, might have considered himself as above the goad, resented its shocks and sparks, resented that that puny human device would pretend to teach him, he, a tarn o...	10
15	36	How frightful for her must have been those minutes of flight, grasped in the talons, hundreds of feet above the plains of Tharna, not knowing if she might be dropped at any instant, or carried to some ledge to be ripped to pieces by that monstrous beak, those hideous steel-shod talons.	10
18	105	From somewhere above we heard the movement of a valve.	10
18	120	A trickle of water from above moved down the sides of the stones.	10
18	156	He cried out in fear, "It's coming, all of it!" "Brace yourselves!" I shouted to those above and below me.	10
18	163	Above, whoever worked the valve must have grown impatient and thrown it open completely, or perhaps the sudden torrent of water had been intended as a gesture of mercy to drown any survivors quickly.	10
19	49	I sent several men climbing to the top of the chains so high above.	10
19	52	Determined dark shapes, agile with the fury of hope, began to climb the chain toward the moons above.	10
19	56	Mine after mine was freed, and as each mine was freed, its slaves, forsaking their own best chance of safety, poured into the mines above to liberate their fellows.	10
19	59	I climbed one of the great chains to the huge windlass set above the shaft and found myself among hundreds of cheering men, their chains struck off, their hands boasting weapons even if only a piece of jagged rock or a pair of shackles.	10
19	93	And then I raised my hands again and standing on the windlass over the shaft, blown by the wind, with the moons of Gor above me, I cried.	10
20	132	When I had said Ubar of the Skies, the bird had lifted its head, now more than a yard above my own.	10
23	190	It was unlikely a small party like that above would freely lose the height of the wall to pursue two rebels.	10
24	60	Some of the girls looked at her in gratitude for she was free and in doing this she showed them that she did not regard herself as above them.	10
24	155	When at last I stood unslain on the black cobblestones at the foot of the double rampart I knew that though Dorna the Proud might rule in Tharna, though it might be she who sat upon the golden throne of the city, that it was the word of a warrior that ruled on those ramparts above me.	10
25	155	She would be given a mat of damp straw and a camisk, leavings from the tables of the dining rooms above, and lashings if she should dare to leave the room or shirk her work.	10

Book 3. (63 results) Priest-Kings of Gor

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
2	116	I have never cared to have an enemy above me, nor did I now, but I told myself that my spear might more easily find a vulnerable spot if the larl leapt downwards toward me than if I were above and had only the base of its neck as my best target.	10
29	62	The ceiling of the complex leapt away from above me and I found myself in the very center of the six ships, surrounded on the four sides, and above and below.	10
29	108	I flashed my ship to the ground only an instant before the entire ship above me seemed to explode silently in a storm of metallic dust glinting in the light of the energy bulbs above.	10
32	40	And we looked, all of us, and saw, far above, perhaps more than a mile above, the open blue sky of Gor.	10
32	41	A great opening, from the sides of which stones still fell, had appeared in the ceiling of the Nest complex, opening the thick, numerous strata above it until at last through that rupture could be seen the beautiful calm sky of the world above.	10
1	16	One gathers from Cabot's remarks above that he was, at the time of writing, not aware of the fate of the manuscript.	10
2	117	From above I would try to sever the vertebrae.	10
3	59	If one had encountered him in the eighteenth century, one might have taken him for a jolly, snuff-sniffing, roisterous country squire, knowing himself the salt of the earth, not above twitting the parson nor pinching the serving girls; in the nineteenth century he would have owned an old book shop a...	10
4	50	He gazed up at the dome, so high above, and watched the smoke curl slowly upward.	10
4	109	The sky above the dome was now gray and darkening.	10
4	110	The Gorean night above, often black and beautiful with stars, now seemed to be approaching with swift stealth.	10
4	153	Through the dome I could see the three moons of Gor and the bright stars above them.	10
5	107	In Gorean notation, the numeral 708 was carved above the door.	10
6	4	The temperature of the water which sprang from the wall tap, I learned, was regulated by the direction in which the shadow of a hand fell across a light-sensitive cell above the tap; the amount of water was correlated with the speed with which the hand passed before the sensor.	10
7	27	"Who are you?" asked the girl, her accent suggesting the Sa-Tarna fields above Ar and toward the Tamber Gulf.	10
7	60	I was gladdened to see once more the moons and stars of Gor hurtling in the sky above the dome.	10
8	107	Treve was alleged to lie above Ar, some seven hundred pasangs distant, and toward the Sardar.	10
10	6	Accordingly the two golden-haired, jointed appendages protruding from their globelike heads, above the rounded, disklike eyes, are their primary sensory organs.	10
11	30	Impatience, for example, is often indicated by a tremor in the tactile hair on the supporting appendages, as though the creature could not wait to be off; a wandering of attention can be shown by the unconscious movement of the cleaning hooks from behind the third joints of the forelegs, suggesting ...	10
12	76	I think he had not forgiven me the start I had given him on the platform high above the canyon, near the elevator.	10
13	33	And yet there is probably more to these matters than the above considerations would suggest.	10
14	1	The Secret Chamber of Misk The arms of the metal device seized me and I found myself held helplessly by the arms suspended some feet above the floor.	10
16	2	I could see the disklike eyes in that golden head above me and see the flicker of the blue torch on their myriad surfaces.	10
16	183	"Let us return to the chamber above".	10
16	225	Let us retire to the chamber above".	10
17	97	The lens was apparently parallel to rather than above the scene.	10
19	30	"They are worn on Tola by all Priest-Kings in memory of the Nuptial Flight, for the Nuptial Flight takes place above the ground in the sun and there on the surface there are many things which are green".	10
19	87	I said nothing for a moment, but simply looked at the Priest-King who loomed above me.	10
27	311	I wondered how long the scent-message, whatever it was to be, would linger in the air before fading into an unrecognizable blur of scent to be drawn through the ventilator system and dispelled somewhere far above among the black crags of the treeless, frozen Sardar.	10
28	19	It was the carriers of Gur but far from the Gur Chamber and I watched with something of awe as the long procession of humanoid creatures, two abreast, marched along the ceiling of the tunnel until they stopped above me.	10
28	21	I had not even seen him to this moment so intent had I been on the strange procession above me.	10
28	28	Al-Ka raised his arm and pointed to the creatures above us.	10
28	30	A thin voice yet strong, almost like that of something that was at once an old man and a child, rang out above me.	10
28	34	I saw that the creatures above me, whom I shall now speak of as Gur Carriers, for they were no longer Muls, still carried their sacks of golden leather.	10
28	37	"The Nest is dying," said one of the creatures hanging above me, "and we have determined that we will die free".	10
28	257	We heard only human sounds and the extent and fearfulness of these were our only index to the destruction being wrought above.	10
29	23	I saw one man who lacked an arm, lying on the floor, groaning, the limb having been lost to the unseen beam of the ships above.	10
29	57	Now the remaining six ships hovered closely together, disrupter cones radiating outward in different directions, but I was above them.	10
29	60	Even now two of the ships were moving their place, one to cover the area beneath the small fleet and the other above.	10
29	70	Then for a full Gorean Ahn did we remain there, motionless above the complex.	10
29	86	I tried to keep above the ship, staying away from the disrupter cone on its bow.	10
29	94	I was quick but not quick enough because the plastic dome of my ship above me seemed to fly away in the wind leaving a trail of particles behind.	10
29	97	A few yards from the flooring of the plaza I brought the craft again into order and, again throwing open the speed valve, darted into the midst of a complex of buildings, where I stopped, hovering a few feet above the street passing between them.	10
29	107	The ship above me seemed to tremble and tried to turn and flee and then sensing the futility of this it turned again and tried to train its own disrupter cone on its fellow.	10
29	109	In the cover of the drifting remains of the ship shattered above me I darted among the streets of the complex and rose behind the last ship.	10
29	115	I floated above the enemy craft but it tipped, keeping me in the focus of its beam.	10
30	51	He would occasionally loom above me, gloating, informing me of the success of his battle plans and strategies.	10
30	167	Sarm, one day, brought down from the Halls of the Priest-Kings above, all the humans who were quartered there, mostly Chamber Slaves, to aid his cause.	10
31	122	Running irregularly, dodging bursts of fire, I ran to the side of the dome where Sarm, from his position somewhere above, would not be likely to be able to reach me with his fire.	10
31	123	Then I saw him through the sides of the blue dome that covered the power source, far above, a golden figure on the narrow walkway at the crest of the dome.	10
31	125	The burst had spent itself and only managed to scorch the dome, but the next, fired through the hole already made above, might do more damage, so I changed my position.	10
31	176	I could not leap to the sides, for there was only the smooth sheer curve of the blue globe and I would slide to my death and fall like one of the stones from the roof above to the dusty, smoking rubble below.	10
31	217	The very globe and walkway seemed to lift and tremble but neither of the creatures locked together above me seemed to take the least notice.	10
32	43	The Priest-Kings shielded their antennae from the radiation of the sunlit heavens far above.	10
32	58	Others, however, eagerly boarded the ships to be flown through the opening to the mountains above.	10
32	66	"There is no safety above," said Misk.	10
32	76	I saw that the last ship was preparing to take flight through the hole torn above in the ceiling of the complex.	10
32	211	When the door opened I found myself once more in the Hall of Priest-Kings, though the great dome above it was now broken and portions of it had fallen to the floor of the hall.	10
32	267	He was trying to thrust more tobacco into it but was having difficulty because the tiny brown particles tended to lie loosely about a quarter of an inch above the bowl.	10
33	5	Several times, in fact, I had simply leaped from one portion of the trail to float more than a hundred feet downward to land lightly on another portion of the trail, a point which, on foot, might have been separated by more than five pasangs from the point above from which I had leaped.	10
33	111	Suddenly I was very sad, and I wondered what would be the fate of humans from the Nest, if they should attempt to return to their cities or the world above.	10
35	12	About two hundred yards above the camp, toward the Sardar, whose crags could be seen looming in the background against the black, star-shattered night was a strange figure, outlined against one of the white, rushing moons of Gor.	10
35	182	For a long time I, and the others, stood there in the windy night, almost knee-deep in the flowing, bending grass, and watched the knoll, and the stars behind it, and the white moons above.	10

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
18	68	Crowded about my body now were entangling filaments and spheres trying, like hands and teeth, to tear me from my work, but I struck and tore again and again and then entered the secret world beneath the membrane slashing to the left and right and suddenly the fluid began to loosen and withdraw above...	10
26	341	At its marbled edge, hissing and quivering with rage, throwing their heads now and again upward and howling in frustrated fury were the two tawny hunting sleen, their maddened round eyes blazing on the pathetic figure of Saphrar of Turia, blubbering and whimpering, sobbing, reaching out, his fingers...	10
1	2	"Flee for your life!" I saw her eyes wild with fear for a moment above the rep-cloth veil and she had sped past me.	10
1	41	Even the autumn grass itself bent and shook in brown tides toward Turia, shimmering in the sun like a tawny surf beneath the fleeing clouds above; it was as though the unseen wind itself, frantic volumes and motions of simple air, too desired its sanctuary behind the high walls of the far city.	10
2	178	The Wagon Peoples value courage above all else.	10
8	147	Not surprisingly, but to my amusement, I noted that it hung several inches below her knees, indeed, only about four inches or so above her ankles.	10
9	130	It usually falls a bit above the knees in the front and back and is belted with cord or chain.	10
9	290	"I think not," snapped the angry Aphris of Turia, her eyes flashing above the golden border of her white silken veil.	10
10	292	I saw that Hereena, of the First Wagon, stood Third Stake, though, as far as I could note, she was no less beautiful than the two Kassar girls who stood above her.	10
10	343	The key to the rings hung, of course, on a small hook toward the top of the stake; it was about two inches above her head.	10
14	45	I could hear the notes of the tarn drum above controlling the flight of the formation.	10
16	27	A foot or so above the surface hung a huge, heavy drum, now tipped on its side.	10
16	31	I judged that the top of the well might lie eight or nine hundred feet above us.	10
16	35	It is one thing to descend a long rope and quite another, even in the lesser gravity of Gor, to climb one—particularly one as long as that which I now saw dimly above me.	10
16	46	"No," he said, still climbing somewhere above me.	10
16	60	"It should be worth the Courage Scar," said Harold from above, "don't you think so?" "What?" I asked.	10
16	64	If so, I might have nominated the young man hoisting himself up the rope above me as a candidate for the distinction.	10
16	134	The golden drops above his eyes rose and fell.	10
18	18	"I have even seen them reach for vines a spear's length above their head and think they could reach them!" Saphrar's two golden teeth, like yellow fangs, showed as he put back his head and howled with pleasure, his fat little hands pounding on the wood of the shield.	10
18	82	I ran over the iron framework until, judging by the distance and curve of the dome, I had reached a point above where Harold and I had waited at the edge of the pool.	10
20	10	I went part way up the tree and was handed the girl, and then Harold would go up above me and I would hoist her up a way to him, and then I would pass him, and so on.	10
20	30	Then overhead in the darkness we heard the beat of a tarn's wings and saw one of the monstrous birds pass above us.	10
21	111	* * * * I stayed four days in the rooms above the shop of Dina of Turia.	10
21	165	When Dina was about her own business, shopping for her clients, usually in the early morning and the late afternoon, I would remain in the rooms above the shop.	10
21	266	He had blue eyes, as I had known he would, for I had recognized him from above.	10
21	270	At that moment there was a long, wailing cry of horror from the wall above.	10
22	109	Near him, in places of honor, at a long, low table, above the bowls of yellow and red salt, on each side, sat many of the high men of Turia, clad in their finest robes, their hair oiled, scented and combed for the banquet.	10
23	109	Bloody, covered with sweat, gasping, we saw the living Paravaci draw back, falling back between the newly forming lines on the gradient above.	10
25	146	"Above the door," she said, adding, rather pointedly, "just beyond my reach".	10
26	360	The fluid now had reached Saphrar's chin and his head was back to try and keep his nose and mouth above the surface.	10

5	146	In the vicinity of the Sardar Mountains I had brought the tarn down on the quiet, flat, gray-metal, disklike surface, some forty feet in diameter, of the ship, some two miles above the surface of Gor.	10
5	229	They are regarded as being above names, much as men do not think to give a name to the universe as a whole.	10
6	21	The table of Cernus itself, of course, was regarded as being above the bowls.	10
7	51	We flew for perhaps an Ahn and then, following a lead tarnsman, dipped and, one at a time, the others circling, landed on a rocky shelf on the side of a steep cliff, apparently no different from dozens of other such shelves we had already passed, save that this shelf, due to an overhang of the cliff...	10
11	136	When Ho-Tu held his torch to the third cell from the end, above that of the girl below, the Italian, the girl inside cried out and scrambled to the back of the cage, weeping, pressing herself against the cement, scratching at it.	10
11	351	Flaminius then locked one on the girl's right wrist and then, her arms through the bars, bent her arms back, put the other bracelet around one of the bars in the gate, above the horizontal bar at the top of the gate, and, on the outside of the gate, about her other wrist, the left, snapped shut the ...	10
12	137	If four tarns were flown perfectly, one above, one below, and one on each side, four could just pass through one of the round rings; one of the objects of course is to maneuver the tarn in such a way that it takes the center of the ring, or forces the following bird to strike the ring or miss it alt...	10
12	152	The slaves wore light, hooded cloaks, the length of which, when they stood, would fall slightly above the hem of their brief slave livery.	10
13	252	The roof was only about ten feet above.	10
13	309	Then Mip turned his bird and it seemed to veer and slide through the air, the cylinders below slicing to the right, and he brought it to rest on a great rail above and behind the highest tier on Ar's Stadium of Tarns, where that afternoon I had watched the races.	10
13	334	When we were finished I stepped again out onto the perch extending from the portal in the cot, that perch fixed far above the street below.	10
15	25	The dance receives its name from the fact that the girl's head is not supposed to rise above the Warrior's belt, but only purists concern themselves with such niceties; wherever the dance is performed, however, it is imperative that the girl never rise to her feet.	10
15	145	They seemed likable, capable young men, something above the average cut of the men in the employ of Cernus the Slaver.	10
15	415	My house is confiscated by the state! I am nothing! I am nothing!" Cernus meditated his move, his chin on his two fists, one above the other.	10
16	56	Each of the girls was also issued a light slave cloak, the hem of which fell a bit above the hem of her livery, but which had a hood.	10
16	231	Throughout the stands, startling those multitudes, unsettling the other birds being drawn by the horned tharlarion on the low carts, there was heard the sudden shrill, ringing challenge scream of a tarn, unhooded, a giant tarn, black, a wild mountain cry of one of Gor's fiercest, most beautiful pred...	10
