Section Four · Signs of What’s to Come
A tide on its way is always preceded by signs. Waterbirds fly low, schools of fish gather and disperse, patterns in the shore sand reverse, and the distant sea subtly swells.

Signs may be true or false: true signs come in succession, while false ones appear alone and then vanish. $BTC
