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. «LORD ESN» ===== G Willickers aka Gage Kerrigan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Sports - live college hoops coverage http://sports.yahoo.com/ --
