V--2nd, Chapter 11 p.324 A room is all that is the case/ "tower notion"

[Kai Frederik Lorentzen]

Don't forget the benevolent 'tower-society' (Turmgesellschaft) in 
Goethe's novel "Wilhelm Meisters
Lehrjahre"!

And then, of course, there's the major arcanum Tarot card # XVI, "The 
Tower", which is - signifying
ego crashing Transformation - in a certain sense the most important 
Tarot card of all.

Note that the tower is struck by thunderstorm and lightning: It's 
raining men!
