The dina "My
own brand was the 'Dina;' the dina is a small lovely, multiply petaled
flower, short-stemmed, and blooming in a turf of green leaves, usually
on the slopes of hills, in the northern temperate zones of Gor; in its
budding, though in few other ways, it resembles a rose; it is and exotic,
alien flower; it is also spoken of, in the north, where it grows most
frequently, as the slave flower; it was burned into my flesh; in the south,
below the Gorean equador, where the flower is much more rare, it is prized
more highly." |
