The funny thing about that is the thread arguing about who/what was on the cover...and Orlion nailed it EXACTLY saying:lurch wrote:Best Cover Art of the LC...TLD...once one realizes whats going on
O wrote: My vote is that the person is Mahrtiir, and that he is going to become a Forestal.
Great call, O.

the difference between evidence and sources: whether they come from the horse's mouth or a horse's ass.
"Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation."
the hyperbole is a beauty...for we are then allowed to say a little more than the truth...and language is more efficient when it goes beyond reality than when it stops short of it.

Yes Vraith, this is true..but I go a bit further...Thomas and Linden were happily consummating their marriage at the approx time of ur-mahrtiir with his song of willow and gleeming leafs etc. The kicker is the gold medallion also on the front cover art. Its verbiage is in agreement with what is going on with the cover art. I can't help to think,,that by design, SRD got one over on the publisher. Perhaps it explains the lifeless descriptive of their consummation; " when they were done.."..Apparently the author and art designer were not quite done with the issue.
If she withdrew from exaltation, she would be forced to think- And every thought led to fear and contradictions; to dilemmas for which she was unprepared.

Yea, I know...I was just amazed at that O nailed the thing in advance, so was giving a shout out for folk to notice despite being a digression.lurch wrote:Yes Vraith, this is true..but I go a bit further...

I can't emphasize it enough..the Scale of ... is one of the best elements or motifs in TLD. The author likes really big stages in his tales and in the opening of TLD he immediately goes off the scale with Lindens exaltation..Pegs the meter in " feeling"..not Time and Space but in " feeling"..He uses " scale" to demonstrate new choices, new realities, and " scale " is in the .." the abyss and the peak" title of part 2.,,and a proportion is subtlety implied in " to bear what must be borne". Time and Space are only the beginning points of scale. Feelings, graveyard to whole, blasts of earthpower to no more killing, from Hopeless to Boon of Hope..from I didn't want you to die to,,I'm glad you did..There are many more " from to's" thru out TLD and the LCs ,,proportions of distance and time in perspectives never quite considered before. Think of Dali's painting and most other early Surreal paintings,,perspective lines are ubiquitous. New Scales, New perspectives. TLD perspective lines go to infinity.
