| experience:� imprint of either mastery or defeat, molding of expression into amusement or despair.� every experience a fugal modification on the melody established in early youth, able to embellish, but rarely change.� Mind auditioning information to fit with the chorus of previous beliefs, lest all fall to banshee wailing, useless past.� so hero comes back from giants' den, from fetid swamp, from Circe's palace, from war, from marriage bed, from sunken ship, from mountaintop, and his calm lost smile as he settles in his throne, is not at the discovery of something new, but the sight of a hidden thing he had always been aware of, and at the knowledge he brought it forth from inside himself, to see before he died, and to pass on to his son. | ||
