I've increasingly come to realize that alice must really be Der Springer
in disguise: Like Der Springer, "alice" is a nom de pègre. Like Der 
Springer, alice makes her statements "with the profound humility that 
only a German movie-director can summon" (GR, 388); statements such as:
 
"we move through a cosmic design of darkness and light, and in all 
humility, I am one of the very few who can comprehend it *in toto*" 
(GR, 495)
 
Flight has been given only to the Springer, and there are indeed 
many flashes of undoubted brilliance in his/her "happily grandiose" (511)
posts. But occasionally we also get pronouncements such as "She baffs
at nothing, the heterospeed" (512), or "An erect green steed of 
planetoid and bone" (514). Should alice ever return, I submit that
"Der Springer" would be a fitting new nom de pègre (gangster name).
