Gook with extra Gobbledy!
Aug 02, 2003, 10:30
I agree. Bollox innit (possibly).

I can't accept the 'total mother landscape'. I rarely have my flabber as gasted as I did when I saw the slepping lady that I linked to above.

I often see *very significant* hills, but they rarely have a truly female apsect. But thten you are playing with *imagery* vs *symbolism*.

The imagery one are obvious (by definition) and the symbolic ones speculative. That they probably symbolise(d) something is often plain, but I am not going to say what. How can I? How can anyone do so with authority. This is where I think Julian falls down, just as Dames and everyone else does. They assert the *truth* when they should just suggest ... but I suppose that wouldn't sell books - ooh! Cynical!

I use phrases such as 'Mother Hill' purely because people will accept and understand the metaphor, because that's what they're used to.

<makes mental note - use "Significant Hill" from now on>
