Dear Gaffians,

   I am a newcomer to the net, although I am an old follower of Kate.

   Both seeing and hearing her Works, a weir idea has come to my mind:
through such Works she poses as deep, uncanny questions as the ones
posed by the Sphinx to Oedipus. For instance: "..there's half of a heaven...",
"I'm not a Pandora", "...just watching you without me", or "...the hand 
a-moulding us". 

    And I fear that some times we tends to answer such questions in a rather 
Oedipian way.

     To be continued. (so I hope)
 
     All the best
