Chapter # Sentence # Quote
19 303 "Thanks be to the priest-kings!" said the crowd.
19 304 We were to be given to understand, I took it, that these various matters were to be viewed as having all proceeded in accordance with the will of the mysterious priest-kings.
19 305 But who knew? Perhaps they were not even interested in things of this sort.
19 306 Too, assuming them to be interested, I wondered if there were any independent way of finding out what might be the will of the priest-kings, short, that is, of waiting and finding out how things, in fact, came out.
19 307 It was difficult to know, you see, how such a claim, that things proceeded in accordance with the will of the priest-kings, might be evaluated.
19 308 To be sure, perhaps a priest-King might show up and say, "No, that is not what I wanted, at all".
19 309 But how would you know it was a priest-King? How would it establish its identity? Perhaps it could uproot trees, or kill people, or something.
