Notes and Questions
Please sign in to write a note for this page
Does it say outside above, rather than alone? Cannot get that word beginning with s.
scape?
The p is the same as that in sprig.
Gosh I am being slow. I just looked up "scape" before it dawned.
What do you think? Hyphen at start of scape.
I vote for above not alone but would rather it stretched to another "whole" but I can really put that forward.
If you like
No I simply meant in the original because the word spread over two lines! Was justifying my theory.
I'm lost with "whole"
"enclosed in border outside whole" but I fear my case is too weak when you look at the evidence. I'm happy with landscape.
I'm going back to my mariners!
Why is the "outside whatever" in inverted commas?
Because you said you were lost with whole!
No I meant in the original - why are there inverted commas? I cannot make sense of it.
Could it be a type of border? Outside whorl?
Outside closed?
I cannot see any whorls. Could that be a faint fullstop after border? And the "..." referring to the way the sun is shown? I think in the end I favour the "outside above" meaning the sun is outside the desert landscape.
I've clutched at every straw I can think of... go for it!
