The Badass Blicero

[Terrance]

Does Blicero equate the "Oven"-his own private and
Distinctly Teutonic
Gotterdammerung-with a Rilkean sense of "Destiny"??

He is a Nazi, so does Destiny, capitalized by P here have
some significance? 

It will come, it will, his Destiny (TRP's caps)
not that
way-but it will come
.Und nicht einmal sein Schritt klingt
aus dem tonlosen Los
.  

Of all Rilke's poetry it's this Tenth
Elegy he most loves, can feel the bitter lager of Yearning
begin to prickle behind eyes and sinuses at remembering any
passage of...the newly-dead youth, embracing his Lament,
his last link,  leaving now even her marginally human touch
forever, climbing all alone, terminally alone, up and up
into the mountains of primal Pain, with the wildly alien 
constellations overhead

.And not once
does his step ring from the soundless Destiny. 
It's he,
Blicero, who climbs the mountain
.



" "Tonight he feels the potency of every word: words are
only an eye-twitch
away from the things they stand for." 


Does TRP's portrait of Weissmann recreates the prototype of
the
German Rilke adept who evolves through the successive phases
of unconditional mystical adoration, national socialist
approbation and inward emigration? 

Why is it that, as Enzian tells us, Pain is all HIS? Is it
that the "primal" pain of disappointments and pain of loss
we feel for the deaths of one's we love, the pain, the love,
the loss that we all know is a universal natural part of
life of preterition, is once and only HIS? 

Is this Pain perversely engineered? 
An artificial pornographic pain? 

Is it, perhaps, associated in the short run with
sado-masochistic
indulgences and in the long run with the  culmination of
death worship?  

Doesn't Rilke condemn the Leid-Stadt as a
retreat where escapists subvert Earth's edifying negatives? 

Why does Blicero turns it into a retreat where decadence
subverts
Earth's edifying positives? Does he? 

Does Weissmann finds the model for his own "city" some
twenty years earlier in
Southwest Africa? 

For Blicero is it a matter of transporting  the sadistic
rituals of Foppl's villa to a V-2 launching site in Holland? 

Why does he, in a sense bewitch Gottfried and Katie
as fairy-tale "children" waiting with him for the Oven? 


"Want the Change," Rilke said, "O be inspired by the Flame!"

 The "Flame" itself is glossed as the Nazi war-conflagration
that is destroying  hundreds of thousands of "royal
moths"-young Germans who probably do not "want the Change,"
but are "only being used." As Pokler is used? 

Weissmann says that Mondaugen will be very useful and that
they plan to get the 
protectorate back. What does he mean by this? 

Id the flame of the transforming Oven also the flame  of the
Rocket?
