Robert,
You make several interesting suggestions here. I am interested in hearing
more about how these elements (can we call them "concomitant attributes"?)
relate, particularly the RC to Nazi (sacred to profane) bit. I've never
really thought that H. lacks the sacred in the later works, though he
certainly is resistant to deifying (reifying?) the transcendent.
