That should do it, I think. Close, but not close enough. Symbols and symbols. Lead into gold, man into beast. I was looking for symbols when I came across this, so perhaps that's what I'm looking for again.
Singular in body but dual in visage. Why wouldn't someone want this spell to be found, I wonder?
The Library is always backwards that way, isn't it? If someone wants to find something, it makes it so very difficult to be found. Which means if someone wanted to hide something--then I ought to be able to find it. And quite easily.
Tigers, tigers. There's a saying about the people who ride them, isn't there?
I'd best be careful.

It's strange how many stories involve a person being changed into something different, isn't it? It can be a bad thing, certainly, like a princess put under a curse and kept trapped that way until a prince can free her, but it's often a good one, too. A girl changes into a tree to keep from being caught by her pursuer, or a hero takes on the shape of something different because he needs an animal's speed, or its strength, or its wings. Sometimes it's a curse, sometimes it's a blessing, and sometimes it's even a disguise, a way of hiding in plain sight.
There are plenty of curses around here that change people into something different. Sometimes it seems as though that's rather the whole point of the curses in the first place--to make people into something they're not, whether in shape or in conduct. Sometimes they make us into completely different people, and sometimes they don't even leave us as people at all; goodness knows I've been changed into a bird enough times to realize that.
I wonder, though, about changes like that. For good or for ill, they're always--and pardoning the pun--changing experiences. And perhaps one of the best ways of learning about who we are is by learning and puzzling out what we aren't.
Dr. Chase, thank you again for the lovely bag you found me for Christmas. It's getting quite a bit of use today, as it turns out, since I'm sorry to say that the pockets that come with jeans really aren't suited to holding much of anything at all.
Which, I must admit, is quite a change in itself.
