26 126 I have found it at the tables of sword companions and in the clash of the metals of war, in the touch of a girl's lips and hair, in the blood of a sleen, in the sands and chains of Tharna, in the scent of talenders and the hiss of the whip.

Book 3. (58 results) Priest-Kings of Gor

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
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.

7 111 Surely I had enjoyed the scent of flowers and women, of hot, fresh bread, roasted meat, paga and wines, harness leather, the oil with which I protected the blade of my sword from rust, of green fields and storm winds, but seldom had I considered the sense of smell in the way one would consider that ...

9 199 In that moment I sensed once more that slightly acrid scent which I had experienced in the corridors beyond the chamber, and I pressed my mouth hard into Vika's until her lips were cut by my teeth and I had pressed her back until only my arm kept her from falling to the stones of the floor, and I he...

10
10 1 Misk the Priest-King The Priest-Kings have little or no scent of their own which is detectable by the human nostrils, though one gathers there is a nest odor by which they may identify one another, and that the variations in this nest odor permit identifications of individuals.
Details
10
10 2 What in the passageways I had taken to be the scent of Priest-Kings had actually been the residue of odor-signals which Priest-Kings, like certain social insects of our world, use in communicating with one another.
Details
10
10 5 They are, for them, something like our ears and nose, used as secondary sensors to be relied upon when the most pertinent information in the environment is not relayed by vision, or, in the case of the Priest-Kings, by scent.
Details
10
10 15 For example, does a Priest-King have the same qualitative experience that I do when we are confronted by the same scent? I am inclined to doubt it, for their music, which consists of rhapsodies of odors produced by instruments constructed for this purpose, and often played by Priest-Kings, some of w...
Details
10
10 20 One must be careful of what one says in the tunnels of Priest-Kings, for one's words may linger after one, until they sufficiently dissipate to be little more than a meaningless blur of scent.
Details
10
10 22 The simplest and one of the most fascinating is a chemically treated rope of clothlike material which the Priest-King, beginning at an end bearing a certain scent, saturates with the odors of his message.
Details
10
10 24 I am told that the phonemes of the language of Priest-Kings or, better, what in their language would correspond to phonemes in ours, since their "phonemes" have to do with scent and not sound, number seventy-three.
Details
10
11 6 The Priest-Kings themselves distinguish one another by scent but I, of course, would do so by eye.
Details
10
11 12 I would learn later that in scent it wore its rank, caste and station as clearly on its body as an officer in one of the armies of Earth might wear his distinguishing braid and metal bars.

10
13 3 We passed several high steel portals in the hallway and on each of these, about twenty feet high, at the antennae level of a Priest-King, were certain dots, which I was later to learn were scent-dots.
Details
10
13 4 If the scent-dots were themselves not scented one might be tempted to think of them as graphemes in the language of the Priest-Kings, but since they themselves are scented they are best construed as analogous to uttered phonemes or phoneme combinations, direct expressions of the oral syllabary of th...
Details
10
13 5 When surrounded by scent-dots one might suppose the Priest-King to be subjected to a cacophony of stimulation, much as we might be if environed by dozens of blaring radios and television sets, but this is apparently not the case; the better analogy would seem to be our experience of walking down a q...
Details
10
13 6 In our sense there is no distinction between a spoken and written language for the Priest-Kings, though there is an analogous distinction between linguistic patterns that are actually sensed and those which are potentially to be sensed, an example of the latter being the scents of a yet uncoiled sce...
Details
10
13 12 Scent-dots, incidentally, are arranged in rows constituting a geometrical square, and are read beginning with the top row from left to right, then right to left, and then left to right and so on again.
Details
10
13 35 Beneath the scent-dots on each high portal which Mul-Al-Ka and Mul-Ba-Ta and I passed there was, perhaps for the benefit of humans or others, a stylized outline picture of a form of creature.
Details
10
13 40 Scarcely noticing us and clutching two scent-tapes in her hands the girl passed.
Details
10
13 50 "She is a messenger," said the other, "who carries scent-tapes between portals in the Hall of Processing".
Details
10
13 80 "A record-scar," I said, "is some sort of mark on your records?" "Yes," said the first slave, "it is entered on your scent-tape and also, in odor, inscribed on your tunic".
Details
10
13 84 "Well," I said, still looking down the hall, "I would have supposed that the mighty Priest-Kings could have devised a quicker way of transporting scent-tapes".
Details
10
13 117 Looking up I saw beneath the square of scent-dots fixed high on the steel door the stylized outline picture of what was unmistakably a human being.
Details
10
14 18 I would learn later that practically the entire wall which faced me was such a device, being in effect a very large scent-reinforcer.
Details
10
14 94 Actually the walls, ceiling and floor were covered with what, to a Priest-King, were excruciatingly beautiful scent-patterns.
Details
10
15 40 What I could see suggested paneling and instrumentation, banks of scent-needles and gauges, numerous tiered decks of wiring and copper plating.
Details
10
15 41 There were on one side of the room, racks of scent-tapes, some of which were spinning slowly, unwinding their tapes through slowly rotating translucent, glowing spheres.
Details
10
15 52 "No," said Misk, "and observe I had to make my own mnemonic disks, devising a transducer to read the scent-tapes, which fortunately are easily available, and record their signals on blank receptor-plating, from there to be transformed into impulses for generating and regulating the appropriate neura...
Details
10
15 94 "What you know—even a creature such as yourself—" said Misk, "depends on the charges and microstates of your neural tissue, and, customarily, you obtain these charges and microstates in the process of registering and assimilating sensory stimuli from your environment, as for example wh...

10
16 85 The lenses of their eyes are altered in such a way that what they see is registered by means of transducers on scent-screens in the scanning room.
Details
10
17 18 "It is a beautiful compartment which Misk has here," he said, examining the visually bare walls with his antennae, admiring the scent-patterns which had been placed on them.
Details
10
17 76 The receptors on the surveillance craft were equipped to handle patterns of light, sound and scent, which, selectively collected and reconcentrated, were beamed to the Sardar for processing and analysis.
Details
10
18 106 Here and there Priest-Kings moved lightly about, occasionally noting the movements of scent-needles, sometimes delicately adjusting a dial with the nimble, hooklike appendages at the tips of their forelegs.
Details
10
19 67 I wished I had had time to investigate certain of Misk's scent-charts, but even if I had had the time, I might not have found helpful charts and, anyway, my translator scanning them could read only labels.
Details
10
27 13 The clerk, at my request writing the expense down to Sarm, informed me that I would promptly have to have the new tunic imprinted with the scent-patterns pertaining to my identity, record-scars, etc.
Details
10
27 43 The tunic I wore carried no scent-patterns and for a moment he had thought that the transportation disk I rode was actually without a driver.
Details
10
27 46 At last his antennae fastened on me but I am sure the Priest-King was annoyed that he did not receive the strong signals he would have if I had been wearing my own scent-infixed tunic.
Details
10
27 51 "You are undoubtedly the Noble Guard of the Chamber where I may have my tunic fixed with scent-marks," I called jovially.
Details
10
27 71 To one side I could see four Priest-Kings handling the knobs of a large scent-producer, about the size of a steel room.
Details
10
27 95 As the musicians continued to produce their rhapsodic, involute rhythms of aroma on the scent-producer, one Priest-King at a time, one after the other, would slowly stalk forward and approach the Platform of the Mother.
Details
10
27 110 But I now understood as I observed the slight, almost enraptured tremor of their antennae responding to the scent-music of the musicians that this was not a simple demonstration of their patience but a time of exaltation for them, of gathering, of bringing the Nest together, of reminding them of the...
Details
10
27 124 Together, in silence to human ears but to the swelling intensities of scent-music, in stately, stalking procession the two Priest-Kings approached the Mother, and I saw Misk, first, dip his mouth to the great golden bowl on its tripod and then approach her.
Details
10
27 130 The scent-music suddenly stopped and the Priest-Kings seemed to rustle as though an unseen wind had suddenly stirred the leaves of autumn and I heard even the surprised jangling of those tiny metal tools.
Details
10
27 213 They examined my tunic but found on it no scent-markings.
Details
10
28 7 The headquarters for the forces of Misk lay in his compartment and there, pouring over the scent maps of the tunnels, he directed the placement of his defenses.
Details
10
28 172 Moreover, all former Muls who fought with us were clad in scent-free tunics which in effect supplied them with a most effective camouflage in the Nest.
Details
10
28 178 What sensory data might escape the antennae might well be discovered by the sharp-eyed human, and what subtle scent might escape the human senses would likely be easily picked up by the Priest-King in the group.
Details
10
29 152 There were numerous scent-needles and switches and buttons and dials, none of which made much sense to me.
Details
10
32 2 He frantically adjusted the controls on a major panel, his antennae taut with concentration reading the scent-needle on a boxlike gauge.
Details
10
32 13 He pointed an excited foreleg at the scent-needle which I, of course, could not read.
Details
10
32 159 Suddenly, through the rock dust, I could scent that strange narcotic odor.
