GR translation: Mirrors at high midnight.

[Markekohut]

" High midnight" is converse of ' high noon' . Sailors are superstitious---whole books on---and what Morris wrote. Probably the coffin look given the expression here.

Only the empty compartment here, the S-curved spokes on the peep-show machines, the rows of mirrors directly facing, reflecting each other, frame after frame, back in a curve of very great radius. Out to the end of this segment of curve is considered part of the space of the Rücksichtslos. Making it a rather fat ship.
