"what did the devil teach Gerbert, Archbishop of

bartered to learn all, and become Pope? The devil
taught him algebra and clock making, for a world where
there is no space, only distances; no time, only
minutes and hours; where things are numbered, and even
Christ bowed with finite care when he gave SS
Elizabeth Matilda Bridget a written account of the
kicks, blows and wounds he had received"...(continues

That's nice. Thanks. For me, however, V., with it's
NYC apartment scene, music, Catholicism, exploration 
of fakery and forgery, and the world of painting, to 
mention a few examples, feels incredibly like TR. 

I wish we could pull off a reading of TR, but it would
probably unwravel before too long.
