M&D/GR language

[Craig G. Bleakley]

Until M&D, I'd always thought of GR's language as "poetic"; now, I'm
begining to realize its prosaic qualities.  I see an awful lot of
similarities between the two, lang-wise, besides the present tense.  There's
plenty of Peculiar Capitalization in GR, and the sepentine sentences also
seem to find an echo.  If these connections are more than my over-heated
imagination, does this lend credence to whoever it was who called GR "a
jeremiad", tracing some of its rhetoric back to the seventeenth century
screed?  Maybe I'm just re-stating the obvious--sure hit me like a tonna bricks.
