I am merely teasing out the implications of that line. Nothing is interpretationally written in stone - I just think it is interesting to follow these lines to see what kind of conclusions or unifying themes might be unravelled by applying them. I think this is much the same kind of hint dropping that Wolfe does in some of his other books, so it isn't authorially out of character - but it could just as easily be a throwaway line (yet it seems important, doesn't it?) (See Peace: the tree, Eleanor Bold, etc.) --- ### Dan'l Danehy-Oakes *05 Apr 2006, 15:34 · follows aramini1 at cox.net* > Nothing is interpretationally written in stone This should be the motto of all Wolfe interpreters. --Dan'l ``` I do not fear Satan half so much as I fear those who fear him. -- St Teresa of Avila http://www.livejournal.com/users/sturgeonslawyer ``` ---
