The windmills could act as a tonic reminder of all that Blicero has
left in his worship of explosive, fire-fuel based technology which
serves as his promethean god,and his deification of sexual
dominance. The windmills being rooted in natural forms and related
to earth water and air. I like the Quixote thought equally and they
work nicely together, at least in my mind.He is at war with nature,
tilting at windmills, seeking a Valhalla of dominance and
transcendence. Dick Cheney would have loved this guy.
