	Well, the "Gliding wrapt in a brown mantle, hooded," of course. ;-)

	If that were in "the Four Quartets" I'd speculate Christ, but I  
wonder if it is too anachronistic to speculate such in "the Waste  
Land"? I've heard people do so. What do you think?

	For myself, I realize, "And indeed there will be time
To wonder, 'Do I dare?' and, 'Do I dare?'"

	-Tim
