>From Skip:

Page 89 (Viking):  "The chalk cliffs rear up above, cold and serene as
death.  Early barbarians of Europe who ventured close enough to this
coast saw these white barriers through the mist, and knew then where
their dead had been taken to."

Does this remind anybody else of "Snows of Kilimanjaro?"  A-and in the
very next sentence Pointsman turns and smiles at Mexico . . . just like
the pilot turned and smiled at Harry BEFORE he pointed out Mt.
Kilimanjaro to him.

>>>Yes, and there is the image of dangerously venturing into strange places.. Why was the leopard so high up on the mountain? (Do I remember the story correctly?)

The strangest and most dangerous approach of all is toward the zero (and beyond). From Mexico to Pointsman. From Pointsman to Mexico.

The "ideas of the oppposite" on some cosmic cortex. In Pavlovian
thinking, opposites get confused. One becomes the other.

Why did Pointsman's smile seem so evil anyway?

>>>Did Roger see himself ?

>>>Can anything be made of the fact that both Venus and parallax
get mention in these pasages? The transits of Venus were
used to measure parallax. Then figured in the establishment of
the Mason and Dixon Line. A sign of things to come? Who knows?
