... Manson? It also has Whitman continually denying that his mounting troubles are caused by witchcraft; indeed, he constantly criticises the peasants for being superstitious fools. But that attitude surely undermines his authority as the man who's busy burning their daughters as witches. Perhaps I shouldn't worry about it and just go with the flow.
