<< Right, thanks, and Weisemburger identifies the source of
 "the shining mother and last love" as Grimm, but what of the
 Bride: "they-they were proclaiming you as their bride...."
 to whom the regiment sings hymns? Is this kabbalah or Grimm?
 I thought it some reference inverted and twisted around
 christ and the church and SJD's Revelations, but it doesn't
 work out. I thought this because of the knowledge of death
 curse (230). >>
hmmmm i can only guess. my guess:
since dom noc there "doesn't seem to care for mass slaughter as much as myth" 
(234) pudding has her be the subject of the soldiers song rather than their 
taking of badajoz....a book end to roger mexico's war mother. a wild 
stab..but what the hell. perhaps there is an inverted bride image reference 
here but i'm not getting it.
