Chariots, redux

[LARSSON at VAX1.Mankato.MSUS.EDU]

Heikki references:
"Then there is the scene of the prophet Elijah's death. When
the Old Man thinks Elijah has had it, he suddenly sends down
a chariot of fire with horses of fire. Elijah gets whirled up.
His follower (whose name is on the tip of my tongue) is left
behind, baffled, I suppose."


That'
s the prophet Elisha (sic), left to follow in the guy's footsteps.

Of course, it is Elijah who is to prophesy the coming of the Messiah and
for whom a cup of wine and a door ajar are left at Passover.

Anyway, the good Billy Blake, among his many drawings and paintings, has
a scene of Elijah in his own Chariot of Fire.
