Here it is as promised - my first time doing this, so I have no idea if I've pitched it right or not, but here goes: 'We keep the wall between us as we go To each the boulders that have fallen to each And some are loaves and some so nearly balls We have to use a spell to make them balance' Robert Frost

I may be way off here, but I'll go for The Devil!

Bean Feasa	24 Feb 2004
Folks, please ignore this one - Kiama just reminded me that the game I won was a one-line quote, so that's what this should be. Silly me - sorry about that - I'll go back to the drawing-board tonight.

Sorry gloria :eek: when I wrote that second message nobody seemed to have replied yet, so I thought the coast was clear; your message must have come up just as I was posting. Oh dear. Not the Devil anyway, for what it's worth. Kate

gloria	24 Feb 2004
Thanks BF :)

Kiama	25 Feb 2004
Hey, no need to quit the game: we'll just pretend it's a One-Line quote, and whoever wins this game continues with a One-Line quote. That way, the continuity is kept, and Bean Feasa'a excellent clue is solved. Blessings, Kiama PS- Is it the Two of Pentacles? I'm going for the balance aspects, and the boulders in the line remind me of Coins.

Bean Feasa	25 Feb 2004
Thanks Kiama :) Not the 2 of Pentacles though, although I can see exactly why you would think so. So come on folks, we're in business again. Let's be having you!

MattDouglas	25 Feb 2004
I'll start the the over-obvious which probably aint it, but since a spell is required I'll say.... The Magician.

Jewel-ry	25 Feb 2004
I'm gonna say the Sun - because it has a wall in it :D J :)

mercenary30	25 Feb 2004
The tower?

ncefafn	25 Feb 2004
I'll try what seems obvious to me -- the Lovers? Kim

jmd	26 Feb 2004
Justice ?

Dark Eyes	26 Feb 2004
Two of swords ??

Bean Feasa	26 Feb 2004
Nobody's got it so far - Kiama was the nearest. (Hope my interpretation of this quote isn't too desperately fanciful) One helpful hint - if you know the poem, try to leave that knowledge aside, and just take the quote as it stands, out of context.

jmd	26 Feb 2004
Six Coins (RWCS version) ?

gloria	26 Feb 2004
The Chariot?

ncefafn	26 Feb 2004
EDIT - Sorry, jmd, didn't see you had already taken the six of coins! Six of Pentacles, doling out boulders and making sure they balance. Kim

mercenary30	26 Feb 2004
How about Temperance?

Bean Feasa	26 Feb 2004
jmd and ncefafn getting warm but nobody there yet, I'm afraid. :)Kate

Bean Feasa	26 Feb 2004
jmd and ncefafn are getting very warm :) but nobody's there yet, I'm afraid.

Bean Feasa	26 Feb 2004
Sorry, thought the first of my last two posts had disappeared so I ended up posting twice. :confused: Whew (wipes away beads of sweat) doing this ain't easy, I tells ya.

mercenary30	26 Feb 2004
How about the chariot? edited to add...... (Ooops..) Here's your sign..........

ncefafn	26 Feb 2004
I'm flummoxed. I can't think of anything else in the deck that symbolizes balance than what's already been mentioned, which by the way, are the following: Magician Lovers Chariot (mercenary - Gloria had already guessed this one) Justice Temperance Devil Tower Sun 2 Pents 6 Pents 2 Swords (thought I'd give jmd a break today) ;) So here's my last shot: 4 of Pents Kim

mercenary30	26 Feb 2004
I just realized that they are working together to build this wall. Keeping it between them to work more efficiently. The boulders are the buliding materials. Two of Cups.

Bean Feasa	26 Feb 2004
I think the idea of 'balance' is throwing everyone off the scent as it's being interpreted as a balance of two things. I'm thinking more of the notion of balance as things held in suspension - many more things, as it happens, than two... ;)

gloria	26 Feb 2004
10/Discs? There is a magic wand there...scales too.

Bean Feasa	26 Feb 2004
You got it gloria!!! There's a wall between the old man and the younger people who are on the move ('as we go') and the 10 discs/coin/pentacles seem to hang magically balanced, 'falling to each' in their tree of life pattern. Or that's how I saw it anyway :) Thanks to everyone who had a go, and sorry it was a good deal more than one line!

gloria	27 Feb 2004
AAAAH!!! Thanks BF....I'd better get and find another one-liner...hope it'll be as good as that one. G.
