MDDM ch. 68 "yet these do live..." (660.20)

[Doug Millison]

Is it really because they're in the presence of the
Goddess that the two men might reach out for each
other, or might it be something like the soldiers in
the WWI trenches that Pynchon describes in GR, who
took some comfort in each other's human presence in
the face of danger. Mason and Dixon are, to a certain
degree, even in the heart of the American wilderness,
manipulated by forces the magnitude of which and whose
true intentions they can hardly imagine. (I'm not
saying you're wrong, just offering another way to
think about it.)
