Yes, I agree: that would be one of the biggest contrasts. Den just =might=
be damned, his narrative =might= be circular; Rush has no such escape

PEACE has a weird, dark, twisted surface, with odd moments of beauty and
wonder; ENGINE SUMMER has a sweet, lovely pastoral surface, with odd
yuckies underneath in the end.
