          "text": "I was just going to clarify a previous post, and I will stick to the New Sun \nbooks for this.  I was positing that The Green Man and his continued existence \nrepresents \"saved humanity\"; In other words, since his sustenance is received \nprimarily from the sun, he partakes of the symbolic substance of Severian for \nnoursihment.  This overturns the diabolical eucharist by which Severian \nascended the throne to temporal power.  His spiritual body (ie- the white hole \n/ new sun) feeds the saved people of the future.  Thus, Green Men live through \na type of eucharist; The New Sun becomes the bread of life. Those who cannot \neat of that substance will certainly not survive as well as the green man, \nsince their food supplies and available land have been depleted by the flood.  \nWhat do you think of this interpretation of the green man? It is a type of \neucharist that is spiritual and does not smack of necrophagia. \nMarc Aramini"
