V578.21-31, P588.19-29   A curious potency. Whatever it was the real
visionaries were picking up out of the hard tessitura of those days and
city streets, whatever Käthe Kollwitz saw that brought her lean Death down
to hump Its women from behind, and they to love it so, seemed now and then
to have touched Pökler too, in his deeper excursions into the Mare
Nocturnum. He found delight not unlike a razor sweeping his skin and
nerves, scalp to soles, in ritual submissions to the Master of this night
space and of himself, the male embodiment of a technologique that embraced
power not for its social uses but for just those chances of surrender,
personal and dark surrender, to the Void, to delicious and screaming
collapse. . . .

Does "the male embodiment of a technologique" here refer to "the Master of
this night space and of himself", or just "himself"?
