Not only is this clearly established as \na grieving practice in Viron (see, for example, Orpine's funeral); it is a \nwell established historically as a practice in the \"real\" world. And, as \nNutria so succintly put it, \"I don't think this skilled auger tried to kill \nhimself and failed.\" \"\n\nI’m perfectly willing to entertain the possibility that you’re right, and my \npost Gen-X hyper ironic brain simply took the more negative, and thence more \n\"dramatic\" of two possibilities. I’m extremely curious as to your \ninterpretation of Remora’s rejected wedding passage, however. My own is less \nthan logical and complete, but it seems to me that that \"shepherd\" stands \nfor Silk while \"hyacinth\" stand for, well, Hyacinth.\n\nAlso, when we meet Silk again for the first time, I believe his wounds are \ngrievous enough to be fatal without some interjection. Would Silk have \npatched himself up without a will injection from Horn? Seems improbable from \nan individual experiencing despair on a level that necessitates the melding \nof souls.\n\n*****************************\nSeth Lombardi\nsethlombardi at hotmail.com\nhttp://pages.prodigy.net/nlom/blogg.html\nAIM: melombardi\n\"Two faces are alike; neither is funny by itself, but side by side their \nlikeness makes us laugh\" -Pascal"
