A picture of Seawrack

Shewing forth my Google powers, I found this picture of Seawrack (or her sister), a delightful piece of high Victorian erotic romanticsm, together with the Goethe ballad "Der Fischer" which apparently inspired it: http://members.tripod.com/~pnkeese/_poems/fischer.htm (NB: Tripod pop-up & cheesy music warning!) Don't you wish that had been the cover OBW instead of the piece of crap they used? (maybe they could have put an old guy's head on the fisherman.)

I think the colonists on Blue had lost the technology to make silk boxer shorts. I suppose it's possible Horn had some from the Whorl and kept them all these years because they reminded him of You-Know-Who. On the other hand, that brown blur in the lower right corner looks more like my mental picture of Babbie than the one on the cover of OBW. -Rostrum

My theory is that they were a gift from the Mother, along with some killer aftershave, and a supersized can of viagra.
