Having just read Greg's quote about acid taking away the fear of death
Geli Tripping *would* be the one who `gets things kinda right'. I'm
also remembering that witch logo painted on one of the A4s where the
witch rides her rocket broomstick past a crescent moon - Die Frau im
Mond, indeed, more like over the moon. But she, like Slothrop, must be
a candidate for the Titans. Isn't her screaming, no hands
BrockenGespenst orgasm up in the mountains the equivalent of
Slothrop's Rilkean assumption of immortality - or rather timelessness
and placelessness - when he retrieves his harp and subsequently
arrives at his Crossroads?
