Inside were Logan and Lamar, as his first lieutenant, and nineteen other young men, annuals and perennials.

But even the annuals are given special blessings of extraordinary good health and above-average appearance, and sometimes they too are spectacularly beautiful, so no one is ever certain which species he or she is—that’s the beauty of it—and to hold on to youth and vigor for so long, isn’t that alone a miracle in itself?

Many Fertile Crescent plants, especially species of cereals and pulses, have adapted in a way that renders them useful to humans: they are annuals, meaning that the plant itself dries up and dies in the dry season.

Because of this ease of domestication, big-seeded annuals were the first, or among the first, crops developed not only in the Fertile Crescent but also in China and the Sahel.

Lessons were over, and I was reading a marvellous story in one of my favourite annuals: my uncle had so taught me from infancy the right handling of books, that he would have trusted me with the most valuable in his possession.
