The numbers don't lie. And it's still a gorgeous poem (http://ellen-kushner.livejournal.com/87504.html). The ensuing discussion ranged from poetry to Artemisia F-L to how to read The Fall of the Kings, and even inspired the We Appreciate Marcus (http://hs.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2232887477) group on FaceBook . . . .It is good to revisit old conversations; these entries make wonderful markers to refer back to and realize how much has passed (or how little has changed) - like the next day's discussion with http://stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif (http://meritahut.livejournal.com/profile)meritahut (http://meritahut.livejournal.com/) of putting "The Privilege of the Freaking Sword" on a T-shirt (http://ellen-kushner.livejournal.com/87798.html?thread=975862#t975862) -- which at the time was just a joke, is now in a position to be realized (the putting, not the discussion)!
And in something I will now call "Spam Tarot," the whole reason I went back to that old post was to delete a spammie comment (offering unparalleled financial security) that came in to that page this morning. Wow.
All this looking back also causes me to note that my old posts and comments seem to be so much more lucid and lovely than anything I'm posting now! Oh, well....
