"und so weiter" Pointsman. Hey this pain and pleasure is
working out, thanks Paul, I had my doubts, but.... In any
event, Pointy says, "It all comes down, as it must, to the
desires of individual MEN (my caps)....It's work, that all
it is, and there's no room for any extra human
anxieties--they only weaken, effeminize the will: a man
either indulges them, or fights to win, und so weiter." 

"und so weiter" allies Pointy with Blicero. Sexist, power
driven, control, no effeminate extra human anxieties. What
does Nora D. Truck think of that? 


"How he submitted--. Loved."  Rilke

"The boy wants to fuck..." Blicero
