I said it was nothing but a product of my imagination.
Having too vivid an imagination has this very troublesome factor associated with it: seeing one element leads to the immediate creation of all the missing elements by the viewer's mind, no matter how far from reality they may be.
I am not in the mood for metaphors and riddles, really. The valkyrie from the previous post is, obviousy, very real, and I saw her next to daily for the entire last year. I did not recognize her because the red hair was not there before. But under rain, in mere seconds, topped with acquamarine gems, who would have cared?
Information is a dangerous tool. One bit of it tends to pull another. Soon a real figure is drawn, replacing the imagined figure; worship becomes regret as deity becomes peasant.
My apologies, Ruby-chan, if this disappoints you.
The test passed me. I will sigh and go west, and remain Galadriel.
Surely I will not remain Galadriel, but I doubt anyone would recognize this altered quote if I altered it any further. I should just return to my comments on petty left-wingers. And boy do I have a bunch on that field... Or maybe King of Fighters? Perhaps I can speak of the war, too. And the government. And sheep. And beautiful shepherdesses in white, yellow and light green dresses, walking barefeet across the endless grass fields of a low mountain range as the morning mist dissipates and the sheep run in all directions, happy to see the first rays of the sun again.
