Joy Is In The Ears That Hear.

There Is No Life Which Does Not Possess Its Own Importance, No Life Which May Not Be Touched By Greatness At Any Time -- Yes, Be Touched By Greatness And Have A Hand In It. (from The Mirror Of Her Dreams)

"are You A Storyteller, Thomas Covenant?" Absently He Replied, "i Was, Once." "and You Gave It Up? Ah, That Is As Sad A Tale In Three Words As Any You Might Have Told Me. But A Life Without A Tale Is Like A Sea Without Salt. How Do You Live?" "i Live." "another?" Foamfollower Returned. "in Two Words, A Story Sadder Than The First. Say No More - With One Word You Will Make Me Weep."

However You Look At It, In These Books "power" Tends To Be An Expression Of The Essential Nature Of The Person Or Being Whose Power It Is. On Those Occasions When We've Seen Lord Foul Act Directly, He Seems To Exert The Withering Force Of Pure Scorn. Imho, That's Pretty Intense.

Any Belief That Puts Itself Beyond Doubt Nurtures Its Own Collapse.
