I expect Gene to disabuse us of our density, tho. \"What? You didn't\ncatch the 18 levels of Nordic mythlogy not to mention the embedded iambics in\nOreb's dialogue which clearly reveals his cacogenic nature? I thought it was\nobvious.\" Or something like that.\n\nAlso agree that while Silk and Severian are not Christians, they are Christ\nfigures. Not allegory, of course. But forms of the Outsider. Here's a weird\nthought: Is the Outsider a Christian figure? Can of worms, that.\n\nHave I missed something or has the theory been nixed that there are links\nbetween The Long Sun Blue and Green planets and Ste. Anne and Ste. Croix in\nTHE FIFTH HEAD OF CERBERUS. I'm rereading it and finding some odd\ncorespondences.\n\nbest\n\nPatrick "
