| I agree. Bollox innit (possibly). I can't accept the 'total mother landscape'. I rarely have my flabber as gasted as I did when I saw the slepping lady that I linked to above. I often see *very significant* hills, but they rarely have a truly female apsect. But thten you are playing with *imagery* vs *symbolism*. The imagery one are obvious (by definition) and the symbolic ones speculative. That they probably symbolise(d) something is often plain, but I am not going to say what. How can I? How can anyone do so with authority. This is where I think Julian falls down, just as Dames and everyone else does. They assert the *truth* when they should just suggest ... but I suppose that wouldn't sell books - ooh! Cynical! I use phrases such as 'Mother Hill' purely because people will accept and understand the metaphor, because that's what they're used to. <makes mental note - use "Significant Hill" from now on> Reply | with quote |  2nd August 2003ce 10:30 In reply to: They disappear when you lie down :( (nigelswift) |
