Love, of course, is what is described (if I am right) by Mann in Hans Castorp's dream*: it is curious that whereas Mills' land Where the Rainbow Ends** seems to be populated by infant children, Mann's bay has, I should guess, adolescents and youths (with a very few exceptions): perhaps a little more advanced after the end of the process of 'unlearning'. (I know I have a cheek in comparing Mann with Mills: whose book is a dire warning on keeping politics out of art.)
