It unfolds

Final fixes on the Job manuscript! The sheets without a folded corner (or double-folded corner) are two pages good to go. The others are waiting for missing references, better word choices, and, in only a very few cases, real thinking. Not new thinking - it's too late for that - but thinking how to make explicit what I'm doing, something unclear, in these few places, even to me! How did I think I was going to get from Herder back to Lowth, foward to Otto, and then back againto Blake? (Not that it doesn't work as it is, where I just go there, no explanation given.) More pressingly because more delicate, how do I get from Wiesel to Susman to Taylor's "immanent frame"? It'll happen somehow!
