          MK: p. 848 Cyprian's Cosmic Revelation....
          "dripping from the sky like pigeon shit"
          Cf. Pugnax's 'lavatorial assaults"...and GR.....................

          Pretty clearly shows TRPs attitudes toward 
          'heavenly revelation' as certain 
          traditions have it,
          wouldn't you say?.........

          The heavens bring us screaming V-2s...............
       
Not to mention "Death from Slightly Above".

Note how Trieste is fleshed out in AtD, filling in all the 
reasons why "it" was named "Tristero", the spectre of 
modernism filling Europe with dread and automated death
on sea.

Rilke doesn't quite read like "Wings of Desire" in Pynchon's worldview.
Though there is Rebekah to consider.

Remember that Dee's 49th Enochian Gate leads to the Apocalyptic
Revelations.
