(urth) Master Ultan's Library

[David Stockhoff]

Some of my favorite passages in Severian's narration involve commentary 
on literary style. In Shadow, he compares writing to execution of the 
condemned.

What do you all make of the following mention of Master Ultan's Library?

Similarly *you, who will some day delve in Master Ultan's library,* will 
require of me no long delays; personages who are permitted to speak only 
briefly yet do it well; certain dramatic pauses which shall signal to 
you that something of import is about to occur; excitement; and a sating 
quantity of blood.
