But Alexsey has already made more of R. G. Stonelower by
merging G Steiner and R Lowell. This doubles the allusional excitement,
and offers the pseudo-anagrammatical advantage of incorporating the L
and W not found in George Steiner alone! This scores high points in the
creative word-mangling game.
One is tempted to rope in the ONE STONE = Einstein, oft found and
dismissed (‘cast aside lightly?’) in VN’s works. No doubt VN recalled
from reading Finnegans Wake: Eins within a space and a wearywide space
it wast ere wohned a Mookse. ...
