You know the Grimm version of Snow White makes more sense than most versions if only because in that version Snow White was like 7 years old.

The Wheel of Time turns, and ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legends fade to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again.

It hasn’t really ever occurred to me before how literal this quote kind of is. The series of course takes place in Third Age, and other events of the Third Age are memory - imperfect, distorted, with lots of lost detail, but mostly accurate. The Age before is the Age of Legends - everyone is heightened, twisted into awesome figures or primordial monsters, but a lot of the basic facts remain mostly true, recorded in ancient times. Then you get to the First Age, our Age. By the time of the books, things are totally distorted, the nuclear standoff between Russia and the US transformed into giants throwing spears of fire at each other, rocket ships transformed into fire eagles, centuries collapsed into nothing. It is fully the realm of mythology.

Memory to legend to myth, each in an age.

i think we trc likers on the internet really undervalue and ignore the really fascinating and well done world building and magic system that maggie steifvater crafted. yes the characters and their relationships are exquisite and i’m glad they are appreciated but like the blurring of worlds and time and mythology is amazing. unfortunately she also does this magic trick with her writing where 24 hours after one finishes a maggie steifvater book any details other than the characters and the broadest story arcs erase themselves from ones brain, so i do not fault myself for this nor any of u. rip

Blessing the Boats

by Lucille Clifton

(at St. Mary’s)

may the tide that is entering even now the lip of our understanding carry you out beyond the face of fear may you kiss the wind then turn from it certain that it will love your back     may you open your eyes to water water waving forever and may you in your innocence sail through this to that
