Against
his
own
will
and
all
previous
judgments
,
Kynes
admitted
to
himself
:
I
like
this
Duke
.

Greatness
is
a
transitory
experience
.
It
is
never
consistent
.
It
depends
in
part
upon
the
myth
-
making
imagination
of
humankind
.
The
person
who
experiences
greatness
must
have
a
feeling
for
the
myth
he
is
in
.
He
must
reflect
what
is
projected
upon
him
.
And
he
must
have
a
strong
sense
of
the
sardonic
.
This
is
what
uncouples
him
from
belief
in
his
own
pretensions
.
The
sardonic
is
all
that
permits
him
to
move
within
himself
.
Without
this
quality
,
even
occasional
greatness
will
destroy
a
man
.

from
“
Collected
Sayings
of
Muad

Dib
”
by
the
Princess
Irulan
IN
THE
dining
hall
of
the
Arrakeen
great
house
,
suspensor
lamps
had
been
lighted
against
the
early
dark
.
They
cast
their
yellow
glows
upward
onto
the
black
bull
’
s
head
with
its
bloody
horns
,
and
onto
the
darkly
glistening
oil
painting
of
the
Old
Duke
.
Beneath
these
talismans
,
white
linen
shone
around
the
burnished
reflections
of
the
Atreides
silver
,
which
had
been
placed
in
precise
arrangements
along
the
great
table
—
little
archipelagos
of
service
waiting
beside
crystal
glasses
,
each
setting
squared
off
before
a
heavy
wooden
chair
.
The
classic
central
chandelier
remained
unlighted
,
and
its
chain
twisted
upward
into
shadows
where
the
mechanism
of
the
poison
-
snooper
had
been
concealed
.
Pausing
in
the
doorway
to
inspect
the
arrangements
,
the
Duke
thought
about
the
poison
-
snooper
and
what
it
signified
in
his
society
.
All
of
a
pattern
,
he
thought
.
You
can
plumb
us
by
our
language
-
the
precise
and
delicate
delineations
for
ways
to
administer
treacherous
death
.
Will
someone
try
chaumurky
tonight
—
poison
in
the
drink
?
Or
will
it
be
chaumas
—
poison
in
the
food
?
