mddm (ch. 32): twins

[lorentzen-nicklaus]

see also pp. 757f of "gravity's rainbow"; though max & moritz may not be 
biological twins, they certainly do meet the cultural imago ~

"'steuerung klar?' he asks the boy at the steering panel.
'ist klar.' in the lights from the panel, max's face is hard, stubborn gold.
'treibwerk klar?'
'ist klar,' from moritz at the rocket motor panel. into the phone dangling at 
his neck, he tells the operation room, 'luftlage klar.'
'schlüssel auf  s c h i e s s e n,' orders blicero." (757)


note that the twin motiv appears here in combination with the constellation of 
senex & puer.
