AtD, p.848 observing himself without offense

[Mark Kohut]

p. 848 "observe himself being annoyed'..Cyprian's self-control...his self-consciousness about previous impulsivenesses......shows 'maturity'?........Would a whole sick crew member ever 
  "observe himself being annoyed"---maybe Bennie?----or just be annoyed? 
  
(I sometimes want to link such self-consciousness, such doubling of oneself, so to speak, with the Iceland spar doubling...Am I out of it?)
   
  Cyprian makes the Oscar Wilde joke about wallpaper--see p-wiki. I think its use says: 
  Nobody offends me, not even this "Ultraviolet Catastrophe".......
