FeatherOne of the older of the small boys at the Sun St. palaestra. Definition:1. The plumage of birds 2. Something small, trivial, or inconsequential. Commentary:Feather's name emphasizes his smallness. His only appearance in The Long Sun is being shoved aside by Horn in a ball game (Nightside of the Long Sun, Chapter 1, pg 10). In Silk's enlightenment, Feather represents the weak in the Whorl whose interests were being harmed in favor of those of the strong. |
