A Blog for BatGirl: The Crimson Giant Just Flew In

[cheryl penn]

The final but not last chapter if the Crimson Giant Saga flew in on bat wings two days ago.

Elaine is asking some searching questions and drawing some interesting conclusions to The Crimson Giant. She used the word WHAT instead of WHO. By a process of elimination, he is not the alpha or omega, the be all and end all. ABSOLUTELY!

He is not Female or Male, Mars (war) or Venus (love). Is he perhaps Renaissance Alchemy?

He may not even be Red? He might not even be ...............giant - HE? She concludes that The Crimson Giant just IS. Yes, he is a real entity now.

Thank you for your contribution Elaine - with this, aside from binding and cover, The Crimson Giant and The Tower of Babel is O-V-E-R-!

Some interesting observations I have made - which I leave for your comments:

: Marie and I were the only ones who referenced Babel.

: The Crimson Giant was excluded by De Villo and Bifidus.

: Bifidus left consequences for symbolic disobedience

: Bifidus's puzzle is still not solved

: De Villo made the only performance piece - he was the only one to impose physically onto/into the pages - with intent.

: Jenn concentrated on the Flaneur to the exclusion of direct symbolic reference - she was also the only one to personalize the narrative.

: Erni introduced the wise bird to the narrative to aid The Crimson Giant in his search for answers - a seeking and answers outside the confines of this narrative?

: Marie (for me) brought the book to a conclusion by (a) changing the mental state of the red giant to blue and (b) by verbalizing the difficulties of communication in spite of language. She also referenced the "unwritten" codes - those less easy to access.

I am binding, collating and covering my copy. Thank you - ALL of you - it is in the final throes of being a FANTASTIC work.

O no! He's lost his color!

[Marie Wintzer]

:-))) It does look a bit scary.

I might post what I did with it later.

What on Earth do you do with that much radish??  I've never been so afraid of a tuber.  Maybe you can make Crimson Giants stamps with it!

Batgirl, don't know what you mean by defining "special" by "unique" or "Olympic." Strike the word "special" from my comment in your mind. I call that "negative refractive asemics." OMG - let us not suggest TCG is to be ingested by human or animal. The edible poetry thing - that's been covered well. I suspect the damage is done. Whenever we encounter a radish, we'll think of TCG. Food for thought.

I wonder if the Crimson Giant has a dog?  A dog that has a taste for and chews over language like Simba.

[Jen Staggs]

Batgirl has the perfect ending.  The Crimson Giant Is.

Allergic, not allergid. so much for Friday night typing.

[Elaine B(atgirl)]

Special in the unique sense or the Olympics sense? My husband is allergid to dog spit. If he asphyxiates when he retrieves the mail, I'll know who to go after.

Hey Batgirl, my chapters for you are done. They've been on the floor right beside me here for about a week. Simba has been gnawing on them, and she has done some fine work. Yip, this chapter is really special. Just for you.
