It was rather like the embodiment of an archetype and, as you say, a bit like the appearance of an Eldil too. I remember that Michael was quite shaken up afterwards as though a huge force had been through him and it was explained to me that this was why he (Sigemund) could not stay long. Goodness knows what he was doing turning up in a small flat in Bath!William Wildbloodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13231219533755925897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1513199068907090344.post-75866803046483299692019-03-18T14:36:39.731+00:002019-03-18T14:36:39.731+00:00I think Galahad also draws a sword from a stone af...I think Galahad also draws a sword from a stone after everyone else fails on the day he arrives at King Arthur's court. Galahad, of course, is a very Christ-like figure. Siegemund, as you describe him, appears more of an Archangelic figure, a bit like the Eldils in 'That Hideous Strength.' Shades for me of St. MIchael (who crushed the serpent) and St. George (who slew the dragon), spiritual standard-bearers both who wage war on the darkness and bring light to the forsaken places.John Fitzgeraldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13951246561259007162noreply@blogger.com
