DO GEESE SEE GOD?

In "The Dark Lord of Derkholm," Derk's geese could communicate with the deities of the story... or so it was implied. Was this a play on the line above, or do you think it was just an interesting coincidence? :D

Uh....what?
This post may be deleted, but what the hell are you talking about? Elaborate a bit, and I might answer the question. I've read the book in question (although my opinion of DWJ isn't that high), and have no idea what you're talking about!

I'm going to have to put that in my sig. I love DWJ and her books.

Thriving Fire, it's a joke from something that happened in that book. Read it and you'll get it. :D

DWJ is pretty good, The Merlin Conspiracy was I really good, but unrelated lol. Her essays on fantasy as a literary genre are also quite good, but again unrelated.

Well... think about it. DO GEESE SEE GOD is a palindrome, so was she putting it in her book for a play or not? ;)

I don't know, as I haven't read the book in Q, but I love DWJ's work. Favorite is definitely Howl's Moving Castle.

Palindromes are fun- just look at Weird Al's "Bob" xD
