great stuff, and I especially was always puzzled by the zen like koan where Ymar gets up and follows the dog (remember, he sits under a tree, and all manner of men and women come by, but he only moves to follow the dog) -but this idea makes it very, very important and masterfully relevant. otherwise, it is inscrutable. Sev1's bond with Triskele ... yet would Sev1 have the power to return Triskele from the dead, as Sev 2 did - ie - "he was the smallest of those dead", to paraphrase?<BR><BR><B><I>thalassocrat@nym.hush.com</I></B> wrote: <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid"><BR><BR>LS/SS was surely more confusing than it had to be, peaking at <BR>something not far off maximal confusion in RTTW. <BR>Turn now to SilkHorn's Urth visit at the end of RTTW.
