Lord Covenant the Despiser

[DrPaul]

Some two or three cents (for the Trinity! blasphemy quota for the day met--chaching!): on the other hand, what is it about the Despiser as the Despiser that helps Covenant save the world? It's true that Foul learned a lot about the nature of creation as part of his endeavors to destroy it, and this learning is what Covenant incorporates of his merger with Foul into the knowledge Linden and Jeremiah have in order to the world's reconstruction. But any sufficiently creation-knowledgeable being could have, in principle, provided Covenant with the relevant information, no?

This kind of relates to a post that I promised to write a few months ago now, but haven't got around to. However my opinion about Foul is that he understands all possibilities for Creation, and that before he became the spirit of Despising what the Creation is he was the spirit of imagining what the Creation could be.
