*I was in half a mind to leave this one out [from the the ms photocopy of the chapter on the Baroque from the Encyclopedia of Visual Arts] altogether – especially as the [illustration on] the other side [of the source page (The Presentation in the Temple by Rembrandt, 1631ce, not reproduced in the ts)] reproduces hardly at all [in the ms]. I’ve seen men like this in [the Regiment]. (The black and white repro[duction*** in the ms]** shows the essence of the character)
[A certain, perhaps slightly cynical confidence from knowing that one has been trained to, and has, killed one or more men in ‘fair fight’ and could do so again; and that the observer knows that]
