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.

And yes, Wolfe does kind of repeat the same imagery over and over, his symbolism is not a one off.? SandWALKER'S feet always dropping down to the ground, described as sure footed,?dropping down from a high to a low place.? He is described by his feet at least four times, possibly more.? How many other characters have their feet even mentioned?? His character is associated with feet.? Do feet every play a role in the action?? YES, in two pivotal scenes, they do.
?
I do not approach the text with preconceptions, I read it and look for patterns.? If there are no patterns, I do not comment on them.? Thus I can't make anything of trees or feet in The Changeling, but I certainly can figure out that Peter Palmer was born in 1931.
