Ship Volant

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I've had the rose idea for a while.  I think I remember mentioning that your
sketch could go even more in the 'rose like' direction, as it seemed to be
clearly going that way.  But you know, curry tends to destroy effective
memory.  And yeah, I can't remember why Severian was horrified at the
depiction.  The first thing that comes to mind is that it must have looked
like one of those typical office posters so well lampooned at Despair.com.
Something like a "Thomas Kincaid: Painter of Light" version of Tzadiels ship
with bold blue text underneath that reads:  "The Ship:  Some days you are so
busy you  just feel like you are meeting yourself coming and going.  Only
here, it's probably true."
