line 580 "impenetrable haze" a Lolita reference?
line 616 "nebulae dilating" that'll be that "dilating star" back at line
432
line 625 "Grabermann" Grab = grave in German
line 642 "all is allowed" more comonly translated (in my experience)
"everything is permitted"
line 681 "shahs married" It's 1959. The Shah of Iran married Farah Diba on
21st December. Don't know where he gets the plural from though
