interesting too that GR contains a "Brother Quest" that ends, imho,
in the book's most beautiful passage--Tchitcherine (sp?) seeks
Enzian. i can't remember the passage in which they meet, sort of,
and i won't quote it poorly--but it gives me something to do when i
get home from work--thanks y'all...
