Malta, V.

[Mark Kohut]

Right......but ? Key place in V., yes?
 "the June Disturbances (as they came to be called) ended"...."The primary
question, that of self-rule, was as of 1956 still unresolved." --last page
of V.

"Draw a line from Malta to Lampedusa. Call it a radius. Somewhere in that
circle....a water-spout appeared.........Astartre's throat naked to the
cloudless weather....whitecaps, kelp islands, any of a million flatnesses
which should catch thereafter part of the sun's spectrum--showed nothing at
all of what came to lie beneath, that quiet June day."---last paragraph in
bits of V.
