doomed. He can see the obstacles to return, but he still ties renewal to the
death of Them and some dialectic operating in History. The Cycle. Uroboros. The

Yes. Everything is everything.  And Nothing.

But isn't that the end of this conversation?

I suggest that Fr.R's argument is a political manifesto.  I also suggest that
it happens in Pirate's dream of himself, where he meets his guilt for working
for Them, and Katje is his female counter-part, his witness.  All except Fr R.
argue for amelioration, passive acceptance of the Situation, Their reign of
Death.  The circus of this hell is not a Christian one, not exactly.  It is an
obvious reference to the Inferno.  This is one of the most political and poetic
sagments of GR.
