Random question

I've been meaning to ask this since I started reading TTSS, but never got around to it.

"The ice bridge calls me?"

What is that?

Unsure if it helps (or has anything to do with it really) but there's an ice bridge (also called the Rainbow Bridge) in Norse Mythology. It divides the world of men from the realm of the Gods.

Wikipedia under "Bifrost" if you're interested.

Ah. I am indeed familiar with the rainbow bridge. Thanks!

Bingo.

It's the one the revolutionaries take in order to bring war to the established order.

The pathway to the Cleansing Inferno, you might say.

t!

As I was saying...

Gotterdämmerung, gotcha.

Are you a fan of Wagner? If you're not, may I suggest giving him another listen? I'm pretty sure you'd at least like the way he thinks. The correlation between staging effects and music, the marriage of music to they key themes, etc.
