"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”
-George Steiner

...Seasauce, as you know, is Hearthcoal's husband. He's not really the type to get into these discussions much (busy in the galley), but every now and then he checks in on everyone.
Yep. Hearthcoal and Seasauce fit together nicely, too. Like giantish names.

I also like Tyrion Landwaster--but 1 needs 2 have read G. R. R. Martin 2 get the humor out of that 1! Seasauce is great, but I just don't kno about that Hearthcoal!!!
I gotta agree with you, danlo. I think "I am not Joan" is maybe even a brilliant username.
And thanks for the nod, Vain. As it turns out, yours is one of my favorites too. Vain, along with Amok and EarthBlood, are among the more mysterious aspects of the books that have been chosen here.
