Hi HOTPE,
I wonder does your "parable" read any differently if the family discussed had built their house on someone else's land?
It depends how far back you'd like to go. If you read some of the threads over the last month or so you'll see references to the first Hawaiians who arrived here before the current Hawaiians. Did the second group of Hawaiians also build on land claimed by someone else? It appears to be the case.
It... lends weight to Goethe's felicitous description of architecture as 'frozen music.' ... Does this, I often wonder, make music 'defrosted architecture?' Listening to Bach's Goldberg variations as I often do on walks when motorway noise and other auditory intrusions preclude the music of silence, it strikes me that it might. - Pub Walks in Underhill Country, Nat Segnit
