They call him Tui Koro. He has been accepted as the chief of the island of Koro, one of the larger islands in the Koro Sea to the north-east of Viti Levu, but it was not always so.

The chief character in this narrative is the Caribbean Sea, one of the world's most alluring bodies of water, a rare gem among the oceans, defined by the islands that form a chain of lovely jewels to the north and east.
James A. Michener
My collages are only ideas for things much larger things to cover walls. In fact all the things that I have done I would like to see much larger. I am not interested in painting as it has been accepted for so long to hang on walls of houses as pictures. To hell with pictures they should be the wall even better on the outside wall of large buildings. Or stood up outside as billboards or a kind of modern icon. We must make our art like the Egyptians, the Chinese & the African and the Island primitives with their relation to life. It should meet the eye direct.
Ellsworth Kelly
The chief pleasure of his life in these days was to go down the road and look through the window in the wall in the hope of seeing the beautiful Island. the sight of the Island and the sounds became very rare and the yearning for the sight became so terrible that John thought he would die if he did not have them again soon. it came into his head that he might perhaps get the old feeling-for what, he thought, had the Island ever given him but a feeling?-by imagining. He shut his eyes and set his teeth again and made a picture of the Island in his mind.
C. S. Lewis
[T]he natives that were imprisoned on Carnac Island have completely outwitted their guards; a boat was incautiously suffered to remain at the island before night, when they managed to get into it, and were miles off before their escape was discovered; and as there was no boat for pursuit, they reached the land. Their boat was found at Woodman's Point, with one oar; but no natives have been seen since. This occurrence is extremely provoking, as a knowledge of their language would soon have been acquired by us; and they were rapidly learning to make themselves intelligible. I understand they were very accurate in describing the rivers which lie to the north. Mr. Lyon, who superintended the native prisoners at Carnac, says they describe several rivers to the north; one of them large, and abounding with fish; but they could not be understood in their description of distances. It seems that the land is all parcelled out into districts among themselves, and that they rarely travel far from their own homes. The chief of this district is called "Worragonga": Ya-gan is the son of Worragonga. I write this from recollection; but it is no great matter [?147?]if I should have made a false heraldry in blazoning his pedigree.
