2666 - pg. 848

 When he had finished reading, Archimboldi read the whole story again and then a third time and then he got up shaking and went for a walk around Missolonghi, which was full of memorials to Byron, as if Byron had done nothing in Missolonghi but stroll about, from inn to tavern, from backstreet to little square, when it was common knowledge that he had been too ill tomove and it was Thanatos who walked and looked and took note. Thanatos who visited not just in search of Byron but also as a tourist, because Thanatos is the biggest tourist on Earth.
