Still trying to get a chronological sort on what's been said and where in 
this list.
        Noticed the reference to Moses. How old is this list? My own 
reference to Silk as Moses was written in 1996, for a _NYRSF_ review of 
_Exodus from the Long Sun_ . I didn't credit anyone, or any pattern of 
thought, for the image--and would have, had I known I was stirring a broth 
that had already been cooked.
        Not that being the first to think something is the same as being 
the first to think it well--but one of the reasons I joined WHORL was to 
try to keep from reinventing the wheel. 

Best,
John C
