Tyler Trefoil was a Bowline knot....Salty-fibered seafaring knots such as Trefoil - as the reader surely knows - are rarely given to any meaningful degree of introspection. More often they will simply fray slowly, slowly, until one day the either come apart at the fibers, or slip, or are undone, having served their purpose unquestioningly. But, for a common sailors' knot, Trefoil possessed an uncommon disposition. A disposition which created in him a rare inquisitiveness, an analytical bent, and a certain contrarian (And often heretical) perspective as he considered at length the knot condition.
