going back to the beginning, "The distinctions we draw between past, present, and future are [as] discriminations among illusions."

what caught my eye (and what I was alluding to with 'hypercorrection') is that Wolfe *switched from using between to using among in the midst of a simile. I guess that since no one seems to have picked up on that it has to be considered an effective figure.

(and I wondered *why he recast Einstein's original - it's almost a throw-away line in the book: link)
