Who has the most to hide...
the one with many secrets,
or the one who's lost her story?

No, seriously, I'm working on something...

Interesting...

You don't necessarily have to hide secrets in order to keep them, so perhaps the one with many secrets does not have the most to hide. But keeping secrets is an enclosed, interior kind of thing...

The one who has lost her story might hide it out of fear or shame, I suppose... but I can't help thinking that if she were open about it, and accepting, a new story might flow in to fill the hole... so it's more of an open and external thing.

haha..if I went to the Australian hat-elves for advice, I might indeed get miserable, as it is now, I got some interesting samples to consider. There are many angles to hiding, and sometimes being open is one of them as well...

Both you and Jennix have given me a few more openings on the material for the poem I'm struggling with...

Heh. Hat-elves. ;) Are they a new breed? For some reason they make me think of the sidhe... not sure why...

I think I'll enjoy the finished product.

What does the inimitable Angela Carter have to sy on the subject of secrets and stories?

Every character in Angela Carter's stories have at least one major secret...

I figure the Australian Hat elves must be a sidhe noble house situated in Australia, sharing the Dreaming from there...
Probably nasty and superior bastards the whole bunch... ;)
