Didn't want to suggest that was the
only interpretation - I've thrown in others myself - I really wanted to bring in
another angle. I think the symbolism & the inter-relationships within this chapter are incredibly complex, & its necessary to look at it from as many perspectives as possible. Bit like a shattered hologram - each piece will show the original object but from a slightly different angle.
