Re: GR translation: Slothrop’s Visitor

[Monte Davis]

The only other capitalized Visitors I find:

(V262, in Zurich)
"The spies and dealers have all gone indoors. Semyavin’s place is out, the
Waxwing circle have been kind, no point bringing any heat down on them. How
much weight do the Visitors have in this town? Can Slothrop risk checking
in to another hotel? Probably not. It’s getting cold. A wind is coming in
now off the lake."

(V523, among Christian's gas-sniffing hallucinations - Moss Creature,
Fungus Pygmies) "... or how about the Water Giant, a mile-high Visitor made
all of flowing water who likes to dance, twisting from the waist, arms
blowing loosely along the sky."

Not sure what you can triangulate from that, but at least blazes on the
trees...* in hoc signo vinces...*
