I'm only a chapter into the "Daffodil and the Dawn" (aurora = morning hour -> has...), so it's still hitting me how Hesse has a habit of writing Mary Sues; I guess he would respond that he's trying to depict Mythological Archetypes, so of course they participate in the primordial Mary Sue-ness. Tail chasing certainly would express the "chase" phase of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prey_drive#Aspects https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prey_drive#Aspects , and sounds like it might significantly activate "stalk" and "grab-bite" heads as well? TIL there are more rodent species than other mammal species (combined with bats they together comprise ~60% of mammal species); do gnawers, flyers, and insect eaters make a mammalian triad?

  Consider a breakfast menu, the chicken, and the pig: like the chicken, the émigré may be abstractly concerned with the direction of the Old Country, but unlike the pig, is in no concrete way committed! [also: I'm an old married man — I already know what I'm having; you may do better to ask someone younger what's currently on the menu?]
