RKS Literature: The Big Sneeze in Maabar (Marco Polo)

Posted byRobert K Stephen (CSW)Posted inliteratureTags:, , , ,

“They pay more attention to omens than any other people in the world, and they are better than others in telling good omens from bad. For let me tell you that when a man sets out for some destination and happens along the way to hear someone sneeze, he immediately sits down on the road and will not budge. If the sneezer sneezes again, he gets up and continues on his way; but if he sneezes no more, he abandons his journey and turns back for home.”

Marco Polo (1254-1324), “Travels in the Land of Serpents and Pearls”
