The Song and the Flame

My daily quote today:

If you would be pungent, be brief; for it is with words as with sunbeams–the more they are condensed the deeper they burn.–SOUTHEY.

I don’t know whether I’m just in that headspace where I see connections everywhere, or if I’m really getting hit this hard upside the head with it. I mean, even Battlestar Galactica will not leave me alone about it: “Good with a bow, god of the hunt… and also a god of healing. Now, a god can reconcile those two opposing forces.” And I don’t think BSG’s One-of-the-Lords-of-Kobol Apollo is a 1:1 correlation with the Greek god Apollo, and certainly Lee Adama is not, but still. The sentiment is still, roughly, there. Healer and Plague-Bearer, and a god can reconcile that and be both, so wake the frak up.
