'But when he still hadn't shown up half an hour after he was due on duty, Sergeant Claire Bonner felt a twinge of irritation.'

--Val McDermid, The Mermaids Singing
To go in the dark with a light is to know the light.
To know the dark, go dark. Go without sight,
and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings,
and is traveled by dark feet and dark wings.

"As a whole, the North had, in the past, supported the House of Lancaster, but thanks to Richard's strong and stable government which brought peace to the region and rid it of much of its lawlessness, many loyalties were transferred to the House of York; by the 1480's, the scales were tipped firmly in its favour."

~The Princes in the Tower, by Alison Weir.  After hearing that they confirmed it was Richard III's skeleton they found a little while ago, I thought it fitting to reread some of the books I have that deal with his life and crimes.   ::)

In its etiological function, the myth describes a shift from feminine notions of divinity to patriarchal concerns; thought and cunning, formerly independent in an autonomous female, Metis, are now embodied in Zues's daughter, subordinate to male rule.
