It seems clear that her thinking is, no matter how "strong" the claim, that these webs spun with the threads of unreality, have no adequate attachment to those who see them as illusion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4605042465598890784.post-4414276883543893342009-09-26T12:31:11.268-07:002009-09-26T12:31:11.268-07:00THe NY Times on Wednesday had an fascinating artic...THe NY Times on Wednesday had an fascinating article about gossamer, the silk that comes from certain spiders, and it seems that there is a company devoted to making 100% gossamer cloth. It is very beautiful. <br /><br />http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/23/arts/design/23spiders.html?_r=1&th&emc=th<br /><br />I felt that there is a more than casual use of the gossamer metaphor by Christian. This thread, while barely thick enough to see, is many times stronger than steel. Thus, "the gossamer web of mortal lies" shouldn't be dissmissed out of hand. It is tough, resilient, and not as easily got rid of as Honolulu seems to imply. That's not to say that the truth of Science can't shatter it: it can, and does. But if we use such a metaphor we need to be aware of all that it implies, so we know just what work is cut out for us in exposing this subtle and tenacious strength. Then we can say to it, as does Alice when she realizes just what the Duchess' intimidation is, "You're only a pack of cards!"<br /><br />Thanks, Christian, for your continuing wit and wisdom.LowlyWisenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4605042465598890784.post-5006309512474633852009-09-23T04:28:28.777-07:002009-09-23T04:28:28.777-07:00Dear Writer,
