<< Katje's statement exactly mirrors the words of cliff-jumper Reg Le
Froyd in the previous episode>>
Reminds me of the Simpson's episode last night when Mr. Burns wants to
get his teddy bear, Bobo back, muttering within a nightmare, afraid to
tell Smithers, he claims he was saying Sheriff Lobo and it was a shame
they cancelled it. Cut to Homer Simpson waking up from a nightmare,
yelling about how they cancelled Sheriif Lobo.
<<"Angels" reappear in the form of the starlings of London--"converging
to
hazy stone pedestals, to emptying squares and a great collective
sleep.">>
Doesn't this line relate to the dream-like passages involving stone
bird-like pedestals, the illusion of Nazism, Nuremberg, sport stadium and
Albert Speer episode within the Mittlewerke?
SS like lovers asleep?
