Against the Day, question of y'all; Addendum

[Robin Landseadel]

But aren't we speaking of an era that witnessed the rise of Blavatsky,  
Crowley, Waite & Yeats? Isn't there a flavour of speech that TRP  
celebrates in AtD that is born of and reflects the rise of a "whole  
new thing" in religion and spirituality? It's the smelly red herring  
of "Against the Day," the backstory of "The White Visitation." Hey—it  
may only be Rohmer fingering particular notes on his Sax, but it still  
works.
