Sev's Dream QUOTATION

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.

Here's Severian's quote... I think somebody asked for
it yesterday... it adresses his premonition of the
future, both outcomes for Urth, and somebody said that
it indicated Green or Blue.

"Two thoughts (that were nearly dreams) obsessed me
and made them [various events related to nature and
animals] infinitely precious. The first was that at
some not-distant time, time itself would stop the
colored days that had so long been drawn forth like a
chain of conjuror's scarves come to an end, the sullen
sun wink out at last. The second was that there
existed somewhere a miraculous light - which I
sometimes conceived of as a candle, sometimes as a
flambeau - that engendered life in whatever objects it
fell upon, so that a leaf plucked from a bush grew
slender legs and waving feelers, and a rough brown
bush opened black eyes and scurried up a tree."
Severian (to himself), page 15, chapter II, The Shadow
of the Torturer.

Ps. Your welcome.
