Enzian and Tchitcherine

           Brock Vond :
           they also double each other through most of the novel... 
           both quests  have holy centers (test stand and Kirghiz 
           light) both are monitored by  shadow-powers... both 
           experience a magical removal from the text...  (slothrop 
           literally and T- through Geli's earthly magic)....

I like, I like. . . .

And Light—Explosion—Revelation, lurking behind it all, the Tunguska event.
