V2nd, C3

[Mark Kohut]

That is true enough ....BUT there are themes, tropes, phrases and words that 
appear throughout P's work....

For one more example, GR-related (and ATD-related): This one in honor of Kai's 
ob (about P dissing Germany):

Adams deedply disses the Germany of his time, an early failed 
education...........YET
as P does in ATD, finds great value in the OLDE, Historical, almost mythic 
Germany...

And, i would argue that much of P's 'politics'---or anti-politics----had seeds 
in The Education.

As Alice rightly qualifies:  The P of V.  GR is another story.
There, not so much...
