GR p.126 Jessica on Roger

[Markekohut]

"But out of bed, walking talking, his bitterness, his darkness, run deeper than the War, the winter: he hates England so, hates 'the System,'  gripes endlessly, says he'll emigrate when the War's over, stays inside his paper cynic's cave---[great phrase, yes?]---hating himself....." 

P. 130 " the War does not appear to want a folk-consciousness....." 

A profoundly great line....
