we know what the punishment for Urth’s wickedness was – the black
hole. The White Fountain was a reward of sorts, and depended on a
choice by the Epitome of Urth, standing in for Urth’s people. The context
is quite different from the Flood.</DIV></DIV>

<DIV>The prophetess said, "He has done harm too by saying here that you would
bring destruction. I have told them the truth—that you would bring a rebirth,
but they would not credit me."</DIV>
<DIV>I told her, "He has told the truth, as well as you. If the new is to be
born, the old must be swept aside. One who plants wheat kills grass. You are
both prophets, although of different kinds; and each of you has prophesied as
the Increate instructed you."</DIV>
