Hylas and philonous5/21/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Phil: Are you going to tell me that I don’t really know what fire or water is? Hyl: There isn’t one single thing in the world whose real nature we can know. Phil: What? You say we can know nothing, Hylas? Nature certainly never intended us for speculation. ![]() Our faculties are too narrow and too few. We make a fuss about knowledge, and spend our lives in the pursuit of it, yet all the time, alas! we know nothing and I don’t think we can ever know anything in this life. What we approve today we condemn tomorrow. Hylas: Truly my opinion is that all our opinions are equally useless and uncertain. Philonous: Tell me, Hylas, what has come of yesterday’s meditation? Has it confirmed you in the views you held when we parted? Or has it given you cause to change your opinion? ![]()

We meet Spider a couple books ago, he's the enforcer, the bodyguard, the number 2 to Declan, but we never really got a solid connection with him because we were focused on other characters. We had to come back and review the final book (book 4) of the Queens and Monsters Series. ![]() A snake falls to earth5/21/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Nina and Oli have no idea the other exists.
