I like that, it has a depth and shape that illuminates itself with a soft thoughtful light.
I like the weaving idea of words and thoughts, it makes a concept of creative effort into a physically solid entity for the reader.
I stole it from the Fates, I think, way back when I was a kid....Mythology sticks with me, and the way the guy who wrote the Black Cauldron series (also read when I was pretty young) played with it.
