VL-IV pgs. 98/99: Postmodern Mysticism

[Simon Bryquer]

I wasn't  thinking, last time I read GR a few times was in 1973 when it was 
first published. Now I remember, Major Weissmann Enzian's lover.  It's about 
time that I read GR again.  What are the pages in the 1973 Viking paperback 
edition that Robin is referring to?

Thanks ----------------  Simon
