Summary
Lawrence sets out to teach the men how to climb a telegraph pole, but it nearly costs him everything when the endeavor doesn't go as planned.
He made it about a foot when he lost his grip. A yell got stuck in his throat as Lawrence slipped down the pole. All his attempts to regain his hold only accelerated his descent, and he squeezed his eyes shut, bracing himself for the painful impact.

Summary
Sent ahead to Cordoba to welcome a Christian scholar into Lord Feisal’s household, Ali expects little more than duty, irritation, and a lesson in Latin.
He is not sure he likes what he gets instead.

Summary
Ali, steeped in the ancient poetry of his people, knows that Arabs once recited love verses to show their beloved exactly what had been taken from the heart without permission or apology. He has felt this surrender acutely: his composure, his certainty, his very sense of direction, all claimed by this strange, fair Englishman who burns like a wildfire in the wastes.
He has written a poem. Not on paper, paper is for lesser men, for those whose memories might fail. He has etched it into his very soul, the way a brand marks a wound. And now, in the quiet of the night, with only the wind and the fading hearth as witness, Ali recites his verses to Lawrence.

Summary
The engine rumbles louder. Trees and greenery pass him by in a blur.
It is the second time T. E. Lawrence will die in a motorcycle accident, but the first time he’s actively seeking it.
(When it first happened, it was mostly an unconscious desire.)
Lawrence needs to die and wake to the feeling of a match burning between his fingers.
