Thanks for the impressive amount of info & insight! I read the books almost an year ago, and I didn't remmembered all the death-sybbols at the Gyoll submersion -- I was mostly guessing when I wrote about the baptism. Anyway, now I really believe that both symbols (resurrection and baptism) are entangled in the Gyoll episode. After all, Severian's "public career" begins after the submersion, just as Jesus's... ===== "The nostalgia of things unknown, of lands forgotten or unfound, is upon me at times. Often I long for the gleam of yellow suns upon terraces of translucent azure marble, mocking the windless waters of lakes unfathomably calm" Clark Ashton Smith, "Nostalgia of the Unknown" __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
