Pynchon makes much more of Rilke in GR. There are plenty of religious allusions in CoL49, the beast is thick with them.


COFL49  seems, on one level, to be about WHETHER, WHAT KIND of Angelic Orders might we/Oedipa hear now? 
It is pretty clear, it seems to me, that TRP thinks the Old Order/tower no longer can be heard.
