similar, but not identical Explanation: I think he or she is implying that the pieces are likey to vary. These wooden tiles would contain natural variations and so not be identical, but they'd be similar enough to present an image of uniformity from a distance. In other words, they resemble sheep in a flock, identical from a distance but clearly individual close up. Bit poetic for the context though, isn't it? |
