lmp-- Woe, Dismay, and Ouch, thou gougest far too close to the soul. Sounds very plausible. (Do you really see Frodo as creative? Sam is productive, certainly, but Frodo seems to me more of a prophet/ seer than creative. Although he DID write a very significant and magnificent book. Okay, I stand corrected.)

I thought that Parish stayed behind in Purgatory begause he still needed more purging; isn't that the way of it? When he's purged, he'll leave too.
