sources, we learn the sidh were widely perceived as fallen angels. The

<P><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=500512914-30042009>Now look at the
etymology of the name Rosenquist, a Norse double-nominative = rose +
twig, which brings to mind both vines and propagation by graft. Think about
this in conjunction with the recent discussion of Neighbors
and Inhumi, haploid/diploid/quadriploid chromosomes, and trees & vines
in the Short Sun. </SPAN></FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
class=500512914-30042009>Some remarks in the first chapter about the
advanced biology of Woldercan led me to speculate that Wally may be a biological
creation, a grafted propagation of some sort. His name is a suggestive
hint in line with this speculation. To draw the parallel closer, angels and
Inhumi both fly.<BR></SPAN></FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
class=500512914-30042009><BR>In AEG, we're led to believe that Bill/Wally are
one and the same, but there are a few indications they may be two distinct
entities, for example, Cassie saw Bill Reis/Wally Rosenquist in the
audience during the final performance of The Red Spot, but when questioned
later, whoever it was that answered denied being present. Maybe Wally is a
propagation of Bill.</SPAN></FONT></P></DIV></BODY></HTML>
