For years I've been carrying round in my wallet one of those little slips of paper you get inside fortune cookies:
A scholars ink lasts longer than a martyrs blood, it reads.
Now I've got another one: The pen is mightier than the (s)word.

... who knows what other travellers might not have set out with a wild surmise for these shores? Looking perhaps for Luca Antara; perhaps just for the day after tomorrow.

My talisman was a bus ticket. It was pink with a serial number that added up to 21 (significant at the time). It sat peacefully in wallet for years and never once got thrown out mistakenly as an old receipt or random note. When I eventually lost my wallet somehow, I remember mourning the loss of that bus ticket more than anything else.
