To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
SANTIAGO is dictating into a tape-recorder. KATHIE walks round him, going through some notes, recalling her experiences. When their voices become audible, the background music fades into an Arab melody with flutes, hornpipes and drums. KATHIE: I stood beside the Sphinx until it got dark – then suddenly the lights came on. SANTIAGO: Oblivious of the advancing night I stand transfixed, gazing up at the Sphinx. All at once, an unearthly glow illuminates her face, and she smiles serenely down at m...e. There we confront each other – I, the woman of flesh and blood; she with her heart of stone, head aloft, and lion’s claws. KATHIE: There were masses of stars. It was late and I felt – I don’t know – sort of alone out there amongst all those Egyptian tombs. SANTIAGO: I meander midst vast pyramidical sepulchres and megalithic colossi of the ancient pharaohs: beneath the canopy of night, an infinity of stars, which floats over Cairo in an indigo sea of opalescent hues. KATHIE: It was rash of me to have stayed behind.
