Well, very also means 'true' or 'genuine' as in 'the very cross', but what I really had in mind was tre=three mond=world(s) Or maybe the third world in a different sense than commonly used today. Closer to latin, I guess, though it works pretty well in Italian or Spanish I think. Not as well in French (trois), though maybe if you look far enough back. What would the three worlds be? How about heaven, earth, and hell. The poem speaks of two worlds, and in the shooting script there is the following (which didn't make it to the US version, at least we can't make it out if it is). #First woodsman: We have descended from pure air. #MFAP: Going up and down. Intercourse between the two worlds. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ #BOB: Light of new discoveries. #Mrs. Tremond: Why not be composed of materials and combinations # of atoms? #Grandson: This is no accident. #MFAP: This is a formica table. Green is its color. {touches table} #FW: Our world. #MFAP: With chrome. And everything will proceed cyclically. #Second Woodsman: Boneless. #Mike: Yes, find the middle place. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The last is very buddhist/daoist. I've got an idea about Chalfont as well, but I'm going to do a little more research first this time :-) -Rich Haller
