We shall not cease from exploration And the end of all our exploring Will be to arrive where we started And know the place for the first time.

Little Gidding V,

Four Quartets.

I would very much like to write a story one day, starting with the sentence: "While Salinger and Faulkner were sitting together, suddenly, Kafka emerges into the conversation."

Thou villain base / Know'st me not by my clothes?*

The Motif Çintemani:

Çintemani is an Ottoman decorative motif that appears in textiles and tiles. It is mostly interpreted as a combination of the tiger’s stripes and the leopard’s spots, and as such refers especially to manly courage.

It can be composed of a group of three circles arranged in a triangle. Or it can be a pair of wavy lines. Further, the circle, which often contains a dot, can transition into what appears to be a crescent with the tips of the horns touching, or nearly so.

Kaftan of Sultan Selim I (r. 1515-1520), ca.1515, Black kemkha - silk brocade; lined in red silk. The çintemani pattern is often a component of a more complex pattern, and may be hard to notice at first glance.

Kaftan of red silk with appliquéd large scale çintamani crescent and tulips of metallic gold fabric variously identified as belonging to Murad III (1574-1595), but more likely to be from the 17th c.
